Book Synopsis Canadian Arctic Sovereignty and Security by : John Robert Ferris
Download or read book Canadian Arctic Sovereignty and Security written by John Robert Ferris and published by . This book was released on with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is transforming the Arctic. Questions abound about what this will mean for the Canadian Forces, for Canada's sovereignty position, for northern peoples, and for stability and security in the circumpolar world. Fortunately, Canadians have encountered and debated similar issues in the past. This volume, featuring chapters by established and emerging scholars, offers essential historical analysis on Canadian Arctic security and sovereignty policies and practices since the Second World War. The "lessons learned" lay a solid foundation for future research and historiographical debate in this dynamic field, and should inform Canadian thinking on what is necessary to protect national interests in the twenty-first-century Arctic.
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 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 Who Owns the Arctic? by : Michael Byers
Download or read book Who Owns the Arctic? written by Michael Byers and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who actually controls the Northwest Passage? Who owns the trillions of dollars of oil and gas beneath the Arctic Ocean? Which territorial claims will prevail, and why — those of the United States, Russia, Canada, or the Nordic nations? And, in an age of rapid climate change, how do we protect the fragile Arctic environment while seizing the economic opportunities presented by the rapidly melting sea-ice? Michael Byers, a leading Arctic expert and international lawyer clearly and concisely explains the sometimes contradictory rules governing the division and protection of the Arctic and the disputes over the region that still need to be resolved. What emerges is a vision for the Arctic in which cooperation, not conflict, prevails and where the sovereignty of individual nations is exercised for the benefit of all. This insightful little book is an informed primer for today's most pressing territorial issue.

Download or read book Sovereignty & Security in Canada's Arctic written by Canada. Parliament. Senate. Standing Committee on National Security and Defence and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 124 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. -- p. v.

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.

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 Governing the North American Arctic by : Dawn Alexandrea Berry
Download or read book Governing the North American Arctic written by Dawn Alexandrea Berry and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though it has been home for centuries to indigenous peoples who have mastered its conditions, the Arctic has historically proven to be a difficult region for governments to administer. Extreme temperatures, vast distances, and widely dispersed patterns of settlement have made it impossible for bureaucracies based in far-off capitals to erect and maintain the kind of infrastructure and institutions that they have built elsewhere. As climate change transforms the polar regions, this book seeks to explore how the challenges of governance are developing and being met in Alaska, the Canadian Far North, and Greenland, while also drawing upon lessons from the region's past. Though the experience of each of these jurisdictions is unique, their place within democratic, federal systems and the prominence within each of them of issues relating to the rights of indigenous peoples situates them as part of an identifiably 'North American Arctic.' Today, as this volume shows, their institutions are evolving to address contemporary issues of security, environmental protection, indigenous rights, and economic development.
