New and lucrative trade routes from East to West are now becoming accessible for shipping lanes and military deployment, and the Arctic is known to be home to large gas and oil reserves. Yet the territorial boundaries of the region remain ill-defined. In response to these geographical changes the Scandinavian countries, especially Denmark and Norway, have begun staking large proprietary claims in the face of pressure from the major powers - Russia, Canada, the US and China - for the trade routes to be designated as International Waters. Here, Norwegian scholar Leif Christian Jensen shows how Norway has undergone a positional shift after declaring its assertive position on the Arctic in 2005. Its disputes with Russia have created a new foreign policy dilemma, and a new set of 'red-lines' in Norwegian policy. Is Norway, as it would like to be seen, an environmentally friendly, peaceful, 'enlightened' nation? Or does this geopolitical shift in world affairs necessitate a new and more aggressive Scandinavia? International Relations in the Arctic makes a timely contribution to the 'turn to the North' in International Relations and Political Science."--Bloomsbury publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of Arctic studies ;$v1. 606 $aPolitical structure & processes$2BIC 607 $aArctic regions$xStrategic aspects 607 $aNorway$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aNorway, Northern$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations$zNorway 615 7$aPolitical structure & processes. 676 $a327.9/8 700 $aJensen$b Leif Christian$01536662 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798139003321 996 $aInternational relations in the Arctic$93785516 997 $aUNINA
