Reviews

The EcoTravel Guide online magazine featured 'The Fast-Changing Arctic' in February 2014. Much has been written on the climatological and ecological stresses on the region, with little addressed on the military, defence, strategic and macro-economic opportunities associated with polar thaw. Here, international scholars and military professionals explore the strategic consequences of sea-ice decline. Timely reading indeed, on sovereignty and territorial disputes, oil and gas exploration, fishing, coastguard responsibilities and Arctic tourism.
