New trade routes, cutting thousands of miles off journeys, are available, and the Arctic is thought to be home to enormous gas and oil reserves. The territorial lines are new and hazy. This book looks at how Russia deals with the outside world vis a vis the Arctic. Given Russia's recent bold foreign policy interventions, these are crucial issues and the realpolitik practiced by the Russian state is essential for understanding the Arctic's future.Here, Geir Honneland brings together decades of cutting-edge research - investigating the political contexts and international tensions surrounding Russia's actions. Honneland looks specifically at 'region-building' and environmental politics of fishing and climate change, on nuclear safety and nature preservation, and also analyses the diplomatic relations surrounding clashes with Norway and Canada, as well as at the governance of the Barents Sea. The Politics of the Arctic is a crucial addition to our understanding of contemporary International Relations concerning the Polar North."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of Arctic studies ;$v3. 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zArctic regions 606 $aGeopolitics$zArctic regions 606 $2International relations 607 $aArctic regions$xPolitics and government 607 $aArctic regions$xRelations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xRelations$zArctic regions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 615 0$aGeopolitics 676 $a327.47011/3 700 $aHønneland$b Geir$0800771 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511649503321 996 $aInternational politics in the Arctic$92549569 997 $aUNINA
