On Thin Ice explores the relationship between the Inuit and the
modern state in the vast but lightly populated North American
Arctic. It chronicles the aspiration of the Inuit to participate in
the formation and implementation of diplomatic and national
security policies across the Arctic region and to contribute to the
reconceptualization of Arctic Security, including the redefinition
of the core values inherent in northern defense policy. With the
warming of the Earth's climate, the Arctic rim states have paid
increasing attention to the commercial opportunities, strategic
challenges, and environmental risks of climate change. As the long
isolation of the Arctic comes to an end, the Inuit who are
indigenous to the region are showing tremendous diplomatic and
political skills as they continue to work with the more populous
states that assert sovereign control over the Arctic in an effort
to mutually assert joint sovereignty across the region Published on
the 50th anniversary of Ken Waltz's classic Man, the State and War,
Zellen's On Thin Ice is at once a tribute to Waltz's elucidation of
the three levels of analysis as well as an enhancement of his
famous "Three Images," with the addition of a new "Fourth Image" to
describe a tribal level of analysis. This model remains salient in
not only the Arctic where modern state sovereignty remains limited,
but in many other conflict zones where tribal peoples retain many
attributes of their indigenous sovereignty.
