Book Synopsis Media, Security and Sovereignty in the Canadian Arctic by : Mathieu Landriault
Download or read book Media, Security and Sovereignty in the Canadian Arctic written by Mathieu Landriault and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents how the Arctic region has been represented in the media: exploring how the media has framed the Arctic and whether this has an impact on governmental decision-making and public preferences. The Arctic region faces profound transformations, due to global warming, spurring intense debates about economic growth, environmental protection, and socio-cultural development. At the same time, most of humanity will never come face-to-face with the realities of the region: the media represents our only opportunity to learn about what this evolving region stands for. Recognizing that media coverage will tend to focus on specific events and relay specific messages, this book scrutinizes the nature of these messages to figure out how the Arctic region is presented by different media outlets. Studying different types of media, Landriault conducts an analysis of 628 newspaper articles, 110 televised reports, 9 magazine articles, and 404 tweets to provide the first systematic and rigorous study of Arctic media representations. This book will interest scholars, practitioners, and students in Arctic studies, critical geography, political science, and communication studies.
Book Synopsis Canada and the Changing Arctic by : Franklyn Griffiths
Download or read book Canada and the Changing Arctic written by Franklyn Griffiths and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming has had a dramatic impact on the Arctic environment, including the ice melt that has opened previously ice-covered waterways. State and non-state actors who look to the region and its resources with varied agendas have started to pay attention. Do new geopolitical dynamics point to a competitive and inherently conflictual “race for resources”? Or will the Arctic become a region governed by mutual benefit, international law, and the achievement of a widening array of cooperative arrangements among interested states and Indigenous peoples? As an Arctic nation Canada is not immune to the consequences of these transformations. In Canada and the Changing Arctic: Sovereignty, Security, and Stewardship, the authors, all leading commentators on Arctic affairs, grapple with fundamental questions about how Canada should craft a responsible and effective Northern strategy. They outline diverse paths to achieving sovereignty, security, and stewardship in Canada’s Arctic and in the broader circumpolar world. The changing Arctic region presents Canadians with daunting challenges and tremendous opportunities. This book will inspire continued debate on what Canada must do to protect its interests, project its values, and play a leadership role in the twenty-first-century Arctic. Forewords by Senator Hugh Segal and former Minister of Foreign Affairs and of National Defence Bill Graham.

Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Arctic Security by : Gunhild Hoogensen Gjørv
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Arctic Security written by Gunhild Hoogensen Gjørv and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Arctic Security offers a comprehensive examination of security in the region, encompassing both state-based and militarized notions of security, as well as broader security perspectives reflecting debates about changes in climate, environment, economies, and societies. Since the turn of the century, the Arctic has increasingly been in the global spotlight, resulting in the often invoked idea of “Arctic exceptionalism” being questioned. At the same time, the unconventional political power which the Arctic’s Indigenous peoples hold calls into question conventional ideas about geopolitics and security. This handbook examines security in this region, revealing contestations and complementarities between narrower, state-based and/or militarized notions of security and broader security perspectives reflecting concerns and debates about changes in climate, environment, economies, and societies. The volume is split into five thematic parts: • Theorizing Arctic Security • The Arctic Powers • Security in the Arctic through Governance • Non-Arctic States, Regional and International Organizations • People, States, and Security. This book will be of great interest to students of Arctic politics, global governance, geography, security studies, and International Relations.

Download or read book Sovereignty & security in Canada's Arctic written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a post-Cold War lull, the Arctic is making headlines again because the world's climate is changing. The shrinking of the Arctic Ocean's vast ice sheet promises a bonanza of oil, natural gas, minerals, fish and other marine life for a resource-hungry world. At the same time, shorter and less costly sea routes are being proposed for transportation of cargo between Asia, Europe and North America--possibly through Canada's fabled Northwest Passage. As the ice recedes, Arctic waters will also be open to other marine traffic, allowing resource development on and off shore, and clearing the way for more tourists to take Arctic cruises.
Book Synopsis Arctic Leverage by : Nathanl F. Caldwell
Download or read book Arctic Leverage written by Nathanl F. Caldwell and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-08-15 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty has been a major and obsessive ingredient in Canadian defense policy. Arctic Leverage: Canadian Sovereignty and Security explores its historical development. How have territorial sovereignty concerns affected Canadian defense policy and its defense relationship with the United States? With the Arctic Archipelago, Canada possesses a geostrategic buffer between two superpowers, and claiming jurisdiction over its waters, has run afoul of U.S. policy that designates the Northwest Passage as a strait vital to the interest of the United States. French Caldwell examines Canada's objectives: were the nuclear attack submarine program and three ocean concept intended to increase Canada's voice in collective security beyond its contribution? A valuable study for defense policy experts and strategic policy makers, this volume explores the fascinating role strategic real estate (the Arctic) plays in defense relationships. Arctic Leverage is the first thorough study of the interrelationship of Canada and the United States with respect to the Arctic. Taking an historical perspective Caldwell covers: the establishment of sovereignty in the Arctic Archipelago; motivation for and establishment of the U.S./Canadian defense relationship; the role of territorial sovereignty in defense policy; the strategic significance of the three ocean concept; sovereignty and security implications of announcing and then writing off the nuclear submarine program; and the 1987 White Paper after Canada's 1989-90 budget cuts.

Book Synopsis Can We Just Get Along Already? by : Alain Lafrenière
Download or read book Can We Just Get Along Already? written by Alain Lafrenière and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The indications of climate change and increased access to resources are making the Arctic an area of growing strategic significance. The recent history of the region, however, denotes a regime of peaceful conflict resolution and adherence to international law. In line with the spirit of cooperation, the Arctic is also showing an improving level of governance through the Arctic Counsel. Canada is an integral part of the Arctic regime and displays great level of interest in its northern region. The only boundary disputes Canada has in the North are with its closest ally, the United States. The most complex disagreement is centered on the legal status of the Northwest Passage, which Canada claims as internal waters, while the US assesses it as a strait used for international navigation. Over the years, Canada has steadily invested in its Arctic maritime surveillance and control capabilities. The US, on the other hand, shows a much lower degree of interest and investment in security means for the region. In the context of North America, a Northwest Passage under the full control of Canadian law is in the interest of both countries. The best way to achieve security around the North American Arctic waters would be through a bilateral agreement between Canada and the United States. Such an agreement could leverage the strengths of both countries and allow for optimum use of resources. By recognizing or not contesting the Canadian claim of internal waters, the United States would increase its homeland security and Canada would achieve its sovereignty goal."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis International Relations and the Arctic: Understanding Policy and Governance by : Robert W. Murray
Download or read book International Relations and the Arctic: Understanding Policy and Governance written by Robert W. Murray and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased global interest in the Arctic poses challenges to contemporary international relations and many questions surround exactly why and how Arctic countries are asserting their influence and claims over their northern reaches and why and how non-Arctic states are turning their attention to the region. Despite the inescapable reality in the growth of interest in the Arctic, relatively little analysis on the international relations aspects of such interest has been done. Traditionally, international relations studies are focused on particular aspects of Arctic relations, but to date there has been no comprehensive effort to explain the region as a whole. Literature on Arctic politics is mostly dedicated to issues such as development, the environment and climate change, or indigenous populations. International relations, traditionally interested in national and international security, has been mostly silent in its engagement with Arctic politics. Essential concepts such as security, sovereignty, institutions, and norms are all key aspects of what is transpiring in the Arctic, and deserve to be explained in order to better comprehend exactly why the Arctic is of such interest. The sheer number of states and organizations currently involved in Arctic international relations make the region a prime case study for scholars, policymakers and interested observers. In this first systematic study of Arctic international relations, Robert W. Murray and Anita Dey Nuttall have brought together a group of the world's leading experts in Arctic affairs to demonstrate the multifaceted and essential nature of circumpolar politics. This book is core reading for political scientists, historians, anthropologists, geographers and any other observer interested in the politics of the Arctic region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Arctic defense policy and military security from the perspective of all eight Arctic states. In light of climate change and melting ice in the Arctic Ocean, Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway and the United States, as well as Iceland, Sweden and Finland, are grappling with an emerging Arctic security paradigm. This volume brings together the world's most seasoned Arctic political-military experts from Europe and North America to analyze how Arctic nations are adapting their security postures to accommodate increased shipping, expanding naval presence, and energy and mineral development in the polar region. The book analyzes the ascent of Russia as the first 'Arctic superpower', the growing importance of polar security for NATO and the Nordic states, and the increasing role of Canada and the United States in the region.

Book Synopsis Handbook on Geopolitics and Security in the Arctic by : Joachim Weber
Download or read book Handbook on Geopolitics and Security in the Arctic written by Joachim Weber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of climate change and tectonic political shifts in world politics, this handbook provides an overview of the most crucial geopolitical and security related issues in the Arctic. It discusses established shareholder's policies in the Arctic – those of Russia, Canada, the USA, Denmark, and Norway – as well as the politics and interests of other significant or future stakeholders, including China and India. Furthermore, it explains the economic situation and the legal framework that governs the Arctic, and the claims that Arctic states have made in order to expand their territories and exclusive economic zones. While illustrating the collaborative approach, represented by institutions such as the Arctic council, which has often been described as an exceptional institution in this region, the contributing authors examine potential resource and power conflicts between Arctic nations, due to competing interests. The authors also address topics such as changing alliances between Arctic nations, new sea lines of communication, technological shifts, and eventually the return to power politics in the area. Written by experts on international security studies and the Arctic, as well as practitioners from government institutions and international organizations, the book provides an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in geopolitical shifts and security issues in the High North.
