Abstract

This issue of Swords and Plough shares examines the complex set of global security challenges that are emerging as a result of warmer temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic region.The goals of this publication are two-fold: to provide thoughtful analysis of recent developments in the Arctic both from scientific and geopolitical perspectives; and to offer careful and informed assessments of how evolving conditions in the Arctic might impact the broader global security framework and relations between the international actors involved, not to mention the region’s inhabitants and ecosystem.
