The Future History of the Arctic
Autor Charles Emmersonen Limba Engleză Hardback – mar 2010
Long
at
the
margins
of
global
affairs
and
at
the
edge
of
our
mental
map
of
the
world,
the
Arctic
has
found
its
way
to
the
center
of
the
issues
which
will
challenge
and
define
our
world
in
the
twenty-first
century:
energy
security
and
the
struggle
for
natural
resources,
climate
change
and
its
uncertain
speed
and
consequences,
the
return
of
great
power
competition,
the
remaking
of
global
trade
patterns…
InThe
Future
History
of
the
Arctic,
geopolitics
expert
Charles
Emmerson
weaves
together
the
history
of
the
region
with
reportage
and
reflection,
revealing
a
vast
and
complex
area
of
the
globe,
loaded
with
opportunity
and
rich
in
challenges.
He
defines
the
forces
which
have
shaped
the
Arctic's
history
and
introduces
the
players
in
politics,
business,
science
and
society
who
are
struggling
to
mold
its
future.
The Arctic is coming of age. This engrossing book tells the story of how that is happening and how it might happen—through the stories of those who live there, those who study it, and those who will determine its destiny.

“This
book
makes
it
clear
that
in
the
immediate
future,
as
well
as
being
an
environmental
barometer
for
the
planet,
the
Arctic
could
also
be
a
source
of
future
political
and
military
conflict.
For
pointing
out
these
possibilities,
this
book
deserves
to
be
read.”

“The Future History of the Arcticis well researched and written. It is based on extensive interviews conducted by the author that provide information supporting the book’s themes he explores. The book is an easy way to grasp the significant issues and their context that have shaped and are continuing to shape the politics of the Arctic – one of the last great energy frontiers remaining on the planet. While the current U.S. offshore drilling moratorium is a setback for Alaska drilling, the issue of what drilling and how it is done in the Arctic region – in the U.S., Canada, Russia, Norway, Greenland and Iceland – will become front page news in the not too distant future. We urge you to consider adding Mr. Emmerson’s book to your summer reading list.”

“Emmerson's
book
is
very
well
researched
and
certainly
educates
the
reader
on
the
cold,
long-ignored
region
to
the
north.
Its
premise
that
the
Arctic
will
soon
be
a
global
hotspot
comes
through
loud
and
clear.”

“Thought-provoking…
Will
science,
stewardship
and
cooperation
win
out
over
self-serving
politics
and
economic
demands?
[Emmerson]
warns,
‘We
can
no
longer
deal
with
the
Arctic
as
we
would
wish
it
to
be
—
in
the
future,
we
will
have
to
deal
with
the
Arctic
as
it
is.’
His
book
provides
a
good
primer
for
understanding
that
future.”

“It’s
easy
to
romanticise
the
Arctic,
and
over
the
years
plenty
of
authors
have.
Oddly
though,
given
the
region's
increasing
geopolitical
significance,
it's
rare
to
find
books
that
treat
it
as
something
other
than
a
chilly
adventure
playground
or
an
excuse
for
reams
of
purple
prose.
Thank
goodness,
then,
for
Charles
Emmerson.
In
this
book
he
looks
at
how
the
frozen
north
has
played
a
key
role
in
world
affairs
in
the
past
and
how
it
could
prove
more
important
in
the
years
to
come.”

“As the Arctic thaws, nations around the globe are jockeying for access to its mineral resources and potentially lucrative new shipping routes. With considerable on-site reporting, Emmerson surveys the environmental and geopolitical changes under way.”
National Interest
“Charles Emmerson’sThe Future History of the Arctichas the strongest narrative of the three [books on the Arctic] because his is most firmly grounded in a knowledge of the region’s past.”

“This new vision of the Arctic, as a site of exploitation and source of political conflict, is chilling indeed.”
Spectator
“Charles Emmerson has written a superb book, which seamlessly intertwines travelogue, history and jargon-free analysis…The Future History of the Arcticis as reviving as a blast of polar air, bringing the Arctic into wonderfully clear focus; one of the most impressive accounts of the contemporary Arctic I’ve read.”

rudely
thrust
into
the

Long at the margins of global affairs, the Arctic now finds itself at the frontline of issues which will challenge and define our world in the twenty-first century: climate change, energy security and the struggle for the world's resources, the return of great power competition and the remaking of global trade patterns.
