As Arctic ice retreats, previously inaccessible shipping routes and natural resources become increasingly available, creating new economic opportunities as well as geopolitical tensions. 

David Fairhall examines the Arctic's growing importance in international affairs through its historical, political, environmental, and legal context. The book considers how climate change may affect Arctic communities, resource development, maritime transportation, and relations among nations competing for influence and access in the region. It also explores whether international cooperation and existing legal frameworks can prevent growing competition in the Arctic from developing into serious conflict.
