As the Antarctic Treaty comes up for renewal and global warming
increasingly becomes a reality, the polar regions have attracted
renewed interest. However, while Western policy in the Arctic
regions is well documented, little is known of traditional Soviet
policy in this area. And this, despite the fact that the Soviet
Union is one of the most important nations in the field of polar
exploration. Even in the era of glasnost, research remains
difficult. In "The Soviet Arctic" Pier Horensma sets out to correct
this situation. Horensma has based his research on the
comparatively wide literature available on this topic in Russian,
but barely known in the West. He traces Soviet policy of the last
100 years - giving particular importance to the Stalin period and
his legacy to current Soviet attitudes in the Arctic. He also
considers the international implications of this policy and the
effect of technological advances. This book should be of interest
to lecturers and students of history, geography, Soviet studies and
politics.
