Duncan Depledge explores why it seems to have taken until now for Britain – once an ‘Arctic state’ itself – to notice how close it is to these changes, what its contemporary interests in the region are, and whether the British government’s response in the arenas of science, defence, and commerce is enough. He investigates the increasing geopolitical significance of the Arctic, providing an overview of Britain’s historical connections to the Arctic. This book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners seeking to understand contemporary British interest and activity in the Arctic.  .Area studiesHuman geographyPolar regionsInternational relationsGlobalizationArea Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Polar Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16020Foreign Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912040Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030Great BritainForeign relationsArctic regionsArctic regionsForeign relationsGreat BritainArctic regionsEnvironmental conditionsGrande-BretagneRelations extérieuresArctiqueArctiqueConditions environnementalesArctiqueRelations extérieuresGrande-BretagneArea studies.Human geography.Polar regions.International relations.Globalization.Area Studies.Human Geography.Polar Geography.Foreign Policy.Globalization.302-307Depledge Duncanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut941750BOOK9910300850503321Britain and the Arctic2124613UNINA
