Beschreibung
The Arctic – distant, inaccessible, gripped by cruel frost – had only marginal significance for the world order for centuries. Today, it is at the forefront of decisive global trends. It is the epicenter of the world climate crisis that affects us all. It is becoming the frontline between economic, political, and military ambitions on one side and environmental degradation on the other. The legal regime of the Arctic plays a pioneering role in introducing innovative forms of governance. The Arctic is no longer the last white spot on the map; it is our first frontier. In this collective monograph, theorists and practitioners – from Anchorage to Moscow, from Nuuk to Hong Kong – address the political, legal, social, economic, geostrategic, and environmental challenges that the Arctic must face in the context of global warming and a changing world order, and they contemplate what these challenges may bring in the coming decades.
