Foreword by Tony Press and Foreword by Bernie Funston'As climate
change thrusts the Arctic and Antarctic towards the top of the
global political agenda, this timely collection provides a broad
overview of the issues, the options, and the rules and institutions
that are already in place.' - Michael Byers, University of British
Columbia, Canada and author of International Law and the Arctic
'While at opposite ends of the earth, the shared characteristics of
the Arctic and Antarctic are identified by this multidisciplinary
collection of essays. Both regions need effective, flexible
governance - whether through the Antarctic Treaty System or the
Arctic Council - if they are to respond to the challenges of
commercialization of hydrocarbons, climate change and the marine
environment. Internationally recognized scholars grapple with the
global politics of the polar regions, the perspectives of the Inuit
people and the role of joint development. This invaluable,
well-researched and stimulating collection clarifies the
geopolitical and socio-economic dynamics of some of the world's
most fragile and vulnerable environments.' - Gillian Triggs,
Australian Human Rights Commission This timely book provides a
cutting-edge assessment of how the dynamic ocean regions at the
highest latitudes on Earth are being managed in an era of
unprecedented environmental change. The Arctic and Southern Oceans
are experiencing transformative environmental change as a result of
climate change and ocean acidification. As areas of unparalleled
environmental, cultural and scientific value, they are crucibles
for testing how integrated, eco-systemic governance frameworks can
be developed to meet and address volatile environmental, political
and economic challenges. Drawing especially on Australian and
Canadian experiences in polar oceans management through
multilateral global and regional institutions, the book identifies
policy options for improving the governance of the Arctic and
Southern Oceans. In offering a pioneering 'bipolar' assessment of
environmental management at both polar regions, this important book
will be an essential resource for policy-makers, scholars and
students actively engaged in discussion and debate on the future of
polar oceans governance in the Anthropocene. Contributors: R.
