Scientists and explorers ordinance. 330 $aAs climate change threatens to open the Northwest Passage to ice-free travel, Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic has come to the fore. Although Canada's claim to the Arctic archipelago is now firmly entrenched in the minds of Canadians, less than a century ago, that claim was much less secure. Acts of Occupation draws on a wealth of previously untapped archival sources to piece together the engrossing story of how one explorer's self-serving ambition ultimately led Canada to craft and defend a decisive Arctic policy. Historians Cavell and Noakes show how unfounded paranoia about Danish designs on the north, fueled by a deliberate campaign of deceit and fear-mongering, was the catalyst for Canada's active administrative occupation of the Arctic. A compelling tale, Acts of Occupation throws new light on a transformative period in the history of Canadian Arctic policy and provides much-needed historical context for contemporary debates on northern sovereignty. 606 $aJurisdiction, Territorial$zCanada 607 $aCanada, Northern$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aCanada, Northern$xPolitics and government 607 $aCanada$xBoundaries$zArctic regions 607 $aArctic regions$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations$y1914-1945 615 0$aJurisdiction, Territorial 676 $a917.1904/2 700 $aCavell$b Janice$01502523 701 $aNoakes$b Jeffrey David$f1970-$01564607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779357403321 996 $aActs of occupation$93833794 997 $aUNINA
