<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The post-Cold War Arctic has seen a transformation from military tension and a focus on national security to a concern for environmental and human security. As a result of this, the globalized Arctic has a high level of peace and stability, maintained by international cooperation between the Arctic states, northern indigenous peoples, sub-national governments and local actors. There has also been a shift from environmental protection to economic activities and, consequently, states easily trump other interests. Now, in the Arctic, these challenges require fresh thinking on a local and global scale. Regional wars, the 'war on terror', and economic crises have posed new threats to Northern security order."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the globalized Arctic there has been a transformation from military security to human security. Climate change, the utilization of Arctic resources and other global challenges have caused the Arctic 'paradox' and a need to redefine security.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The chapters provide an interesting and novel analysis of core Arctic security questions and engage the actors that contribute to this security in new ways. Providing a brief overview of key issues in accessibly written format ... the book makes a compelling case for first, being skeptical of the prevailing narratives around Arctic security and militarism; second, noting the need for a humancentric approach to Arctic security; and third, identifying the limitations of traditional approaches to Arctic security."
