Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A timely, insightful, and highly polished contribution to the understanding of the contemporary circumpolar world... This is one of the most impressive collections on the Arctic produced in recent years and deserves a wide audience." - The Russian Review "This work is a very good introduction to the salient issues of the Russian North. ... This volume is a welcome addition to the small, but growing number of texts on Russia's Northern policies, and I am sure that it will prove influential as a primer for future debates on the Arctic basin." - Europe-Asia Studies

Reseña del editor:

Russia holds more Arctic territory than any other state, yet unlike other Arctic states it does not have a unified strategy identifying economic and political aims for the North. Russia's policies on the North are dispersed across a variety of fields from domestic migration politics to oil and gas development. This volume engages the disparate elements of Russian northern policy and illustrates how the centralized, relatively economically strong and politically assertive Russia of today defines and addresses northern spaces, opportunities, and challenges. As energy markets continue looking northward and climate change renders the Arctic increasingly accessible, the geopolitical interests of Arctic states will be brought more frequently to the forefront. These circumstances will make the disputed borders and overlapping sovereignty claims of the North an important topic in international politics. Given its geographic size and political influence, Russia is and will continue to be a key regional and global actor in the international politics of the North.
