In recognition of increasing strategic interest in the Arctic, the United States has developed national level policies that guide the actions of the Department of Defense (DOD), the U.S. Coast Guard, and other stakeholders in the region. This book provides an overview of the policies that indicate that the United States has an enduring interest in working collaboratively with other nations to address the emerging challenges arising from the impacts of climate change and globalization in the Arctic. Also discussed are Arctic national security needs including protecting the environment, managing resources, and supporting scientific research."--$cPreface. 410 0$aDefense, security and strategy series. 410 0$aGovernment procedures and operations. 606 $aNaval strategy$zUnited States 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aSecurity, International$zArctic regions 607 $aArctic regions$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aNaval strategy 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aSecurity, International 676 $a363.700911 702 $aWilson$b Jason M. 702 $aRodriguez$b Santiago M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155053603321 996 $aArctic assessments$93397752 997 $aUNINA
