Renewed tensions between Russia and the West have fueled
speculation that Moscow's apparent designs on the Arctic region
could help stimulate a new cold war. Vladimir Putin's openly
nationalistic ambitions, as demonstrated most vividly with his
seizure of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, might seem to justify
such concerns. This book by a noted expert shifts the debate over
Russia's strategy from what Moscow could do in the Arctic to the
realities of what Putin's Russia likely will do. Buchanan
challenges the widely held assumption that the Arctic is emerging
as one of the most important strategic theaters in a potentially
dangerous new cold war between Russia and the West. In fact, she
explains that Putin's Arctic aspirations rely heavily upon
continued international cooperation via commercial partnerships
with Western energy firms and Eastern injections of capital-all of
which could be at risk in a new cold war. Three main themes are
intertwined throughout the book: Russian Arctic interests; Putin's
vision to regain great power status; and the emerging narrative of
a new cold war in the Arctic. Weaved together, they dovetail nicely
to present a qualitative assessment of Russian Arctic strategy
devoid of ideological biases. The unique departure for the book is
that it makes the case that Russia's renewed great power ambitions
under Putin are not the only explanation for Russian Arctic
strategy. By exploring the broader context of Putin's actions, the
book fills a gap in literature. It will be of interest both to
specialists and to anyone interested in relations between Russia
and the West as well as the numerous questions about how the Arctic
region will be exploited-and who will do the exploiting.

Readings in Virtual Research Ethics: Issues and Controversies
provides an in-depth look at the emerging field of online research
and the corresponding ethical dilemmas associated with it. Issues
related to traditional research ethics such as autonomy or respect
for persons, justice, and beneficence are extended into the virtual
realm and such areas as subject selection and recruitment, informed
consent, privacy, ownership of data, and research with minors,
among many others are explored in the media and contexts of email
surveys and interviews, synchronous chat, virtual ethnography,
asynchronous discussion lists, and newsgroups.
