Sommario/riassunto

"In the book Chinese Policy and Presence in the Arctic, Koivurova and Kopra (editors) offer a comprehensive account of China's evolving interests, policies and strategies in the Arctic region. Despite its lack of geography north of the Arctic Circle, China's presence in the High North is expected to grow in the coming years, which, in turn, is likely



to speed up globalization in the region. This book brings together experts on China and the Arctic, each chapter contributing to a detailed overview of China's diplomatic, economic, environmental, scientific and strategic presence in the Arctic and its influence on regional affairs. The book is of interest to students, scholars and those dealing with China's foreign policy and Arctic affairs".
