Long at the margins of global affairs and at the edge of our mental
map of the world, the Arctic has found its way to the center of the
issues which will challenge and define our world in the
twenty-first century: energy security and the struggle for natural
resources, climate change and its uncertain speed and consequences,
the return of great power competition, the remaking of global trade
patterns...
In "The Future History of the Arctic," geopolitics expert
Charles Emmerson weaves together the history of the region with
reportage and reflection, revealing a vast and complex area of the
globe, loaded with opportunity and rich in challenges. He defines
the forces which have shaped the Arctic's history and introduces
the players in politics, business, science and society who are
struggling to mold its future.
The Arctic is coming of age. This engrossing book tells the
story of how that is happening and how it might happen--through the
stories of those who live there, those who study it, and those who
will determine its destiny.
