Focusing on both Polar Regions, this book provides a comprehensive
understanding of political processes related to the rapidly
changing Arctic and Antarctic, where the environmental impacts of
human activities are extremely visible. Environmental changes in
the Arctic and the Antarctic are increasingly seen as barometers of
the global impact of human activities, while newly arising economic
opportunities in both Polar Regions prompt predictions that they
will be the site of future conflicts. This book maps and analyses
the different actors involved in the politics of the Polar Regions
to explain why similar patterns of interpretation of such major
issues have become dominant in practical, popular and formal
geopolitical discourses. Disentangling the politics, the author
illustrates how the ordering principles have evolved, explains
recent dynamics in political processes and provides the groundwork
needed to better forecast future trends. By focusing on the
Americas, the only continent that borders both Polar Regions, the
author shows how geographic proximity inspires interaction and
cooperation among state and non-state actors in very different
ways. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of
political science, political geography, international relations,
global governance and cultural studies. It will have an
international appeal particularly in the Americas, and other
countries with growing interests in the Polar Regions.
