Climate change and rising oil prices have thrust the Arctic to the
top of the foreign policy agenda and raised difficult issues of
sovereignty, security and environmental protection. Improved access
for shipping and resource development is leading to new
international rules on safety, pollution prevention and emergency
response. Around the Arctic, maritime boundary disputes are being
negotiated and resolved, and new international institutions, such
as the Arctic Council, are mediating deep-rooted tensions between
Russia and NATO and between nation states and indigenous peoples.
International Law and the Arctic explains these developments and
reveals a strong trend towards international cooperation and
law-making. It thus contradicts the widespread misconception that
the Arctic is an unregulated zone of potential conflict.
