Gordon W. Smith, PhD, dedicated much of his life to researching
Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic. His 1952 dissertation from
Columbia University on ""The Historical and Legal Background of
Canada's Arctic Claims"" remains a foundational work on the topic,
as does his 1966 chapter ""Sovereignty in the North: The Canadian
Aspect of an International Problem"" in R. St. J. Macdonald's The
Arctic Frontier.A Historical and Legal Study of Sovereignty in the
Canadian North is the first in a project to edit and publish
Smith's unpublished work, a manuscript on sovereignty and related
Law of the Sea issues. Researched and written over three decades,
this comprehensive and thoroughly documented study offers important
insights into evolving understandings of Canada's sovereignty from
the original transfers of the northern territories to the young
dominion through the start of the Second World War. With Arctic
issues once again at the forefront of public debate, this
invaluable resource, available to researchers outside of government
for the first time, explains how Canada laid the historical and
legal foundations to support its longstanding, well-established
sovereignty over Arctic lands.
