Environmental Security in the Arctic Ocean

This book proposes environmental security as providing a framework to mitigate the risks of the Arctic's shift from an ice cap to a seasonally ice-free and, so far, ungoverned space.

Paul Arthur Berkman is Head of the Arctic Ocean Geopolitics Programme at the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge and a Research Professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
