'Decision-makers and academics interested in the politics of the
Arctic should have this book to hand. It is a fascinating
collection of well-researched chapters on the geopolitics,
international law and institutions of the Arctic and national
Arctic strategies. The authors, drawn from a wide range of
backgrounds, cover subjects reflecting their expertise in this
superbly edited volume.' - Clive Archer, Advisory Council, Arctic
Forum Foundation The Arctic has again become one of the leading
issues on the international foreign policy agenda, in a manner
unseen since the Cold War. Drawing on the perspectives of
geopolitics and international law, this Handbook offers fresh
insights and perspectives on the most pressing issues, grouped
under the headings of political ascendancy, climate and
environmental issues, resources and energy, and the response and
policies of affected countries. With the combined expertise of
leading scholars in international relations and international law
of the Arctic, the book covers key topics such as climate change,
energy, indigenous issues, jurisdiction, marine resources,
pollution and preparedness, and emergency response. Students,
academics, political scientists and international lawyers working
on Arctic affairs will find this ground breaking Handbook to be of
essential reading. It will also be of interest to other social
scientists, such as geographers, sociologists, and anthropologists.

As the ice around the Arctic landmass recedes progressively further
each year, the territory has become a flashpoint in world affairs.
New and lucrative trade routes from East to West are now becoming
accessible for shipping lanes and military deployment, and the
Arctic is known to be home to large gas and oil reserves. Yet the
territorial boundaries of the region remain ill-defined. In
response to these geographical changes the Scandinavian countries,
especially Denmark and Norway, have begun staking large proprietary
claims in the face of pressure from the major powers - Russia,
Canada, the US and China - for the trade routes to be designated as
International Waters. Here, Norwegian scholar Leif Christian Jensen
shows how Norway has undergone a positional shift after declaring
its assertive position on the Arctic in 2005. Its disputes with
Russia have created a new foreign policy dilemma, and a new set of
'red-lines' in Norwegian policy. Is Norway, as it would like to be
seen, an environmentally friendly, peaceful, 'enlightened' nation?
Or does this geopolitical shift in world affairs necessitate a new
and more aggressive Scandinavia? International Relations in the
Arctic makes a timely contribution to the 'turn to the North' in
International Relations and Political Science.
