Description

A new focus on international diplomacy and cooperation as the race for polar resources escalates As the race for resources in distant parts of the planet gathers momentum, the Arctic and Antarctic have taken on a more prominent role in international relations.

Discussion has mostly centered on the potential for conflict, environmental destruction, and upheaval from climate change.

This important book shifts the conversation from conflict to cooperation, bringing to light various underappreciated facets of diplomacy.

Expert contributors from a wide variety of disciplines provide a more nuanced view of emerging cooperation in the poles than ever before.    The authors discuss the complexities of governing the Arctic and Antarctic, addressing such issues as energy development, indigenous peoples’ rights, tourism, invasive species, ship traffic, commercial fishing, military patrols, and mineral exploration.

Will we repeat history and do lasting damage to fragile arctic ecosystems and traditional ways of life? Or can we create governance structures to protect these irreplaceable zones of discovery and awe, and usher in a new era of cooperation at the ends of the earth?

This compelling book points the way toward finding the best answers.
