This book examines the post-Cold War challenges facing Antarctic
governance. It seeks to understand the interests of new players in
Antarctic affairs such as China, India, Korea and Malaysia, and how
other key players such as Russia and the USA or claimant states
such as New Zealand or France are coping in the new global order.
Antarctica is the world's fifth largest continent and its
territories are claimed by seven different states. Since 1961
Antarctica has been managed under the Antarctic Treaty System
(ATS), a regime which, according to its critics, by the terms of
its membership effectively excludes most of the nations of the
world. This book examines the post-Cold War challenges facing
Antarctic governance, and is organized thematically into three
sections: Part 1 considers the role of Antarctic politics in the
current post-Cold War, post-colonial era and the impact this new
political environment is having on the ATS. Part 2 looks at the
competing foreign policy objectives of a representative range of
countries with Antarctic activities. Part 3 examines issues that
have the potential to destabilise the order of the Antarctic Treaty
System, such as unrestricted tourism and new advances in science
and technology. The Emerging Politics of Antarctica will be of
interest to students and scholars of international politics, polar
studies and foreign policy studies.
