Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In the Arctic, power is often exercised without spectacle. A ship does not need to be stopped outright to be controlled; it only needs to be made uncertain. When ice, distance, and darkness compress navigation into narrow seasonal windows, the actors who can reliably provide escort, routing, repair support, and emergency response gain a decisive advantage over those who merely wish to transit. This is the world where "safety" is not just a public good, but a bargaining space.Icebreakers and Influence explains how ice-capable fleets became tools of state power through the services that enable polar shipping. Igor Danilets follows the practical chain from hulls and crews to dispatch systems, tariffs, ports, maintenance backlogs, and rescue coverage, showing how capability translates into influence over who moves, when, and at what cost. Along the way, the book clarifies why ice escort services can function as governance, how fleet readiness cycles quietly determine market access, and why port support capacity can matter as much as geography. Instead of treating the Arctic as a contest of claims, it treats it as a contest of operational reliability.Written for students, general readers of geopolitics, and analysts of maritime strategy and political economy, the book offers a framework for evaluating Arctic competition through measurable enabling systems. Readers come away able to ask sharper questions about dependency and resilience: who controls the service stack, how route risk pricing disciplines or distorts behaviour, and what systemic risks arise when access depends on a single provider. The result is a clearer understanding of Arctic power as something built and maintained - season after season - in infrastructure, procedures, and the management of uncertainty.
