The Arctic gold rush: the new race for tomorrow's natural resources / Roger Howard.

Author(s): | Howard, Roger. |
Date: | 2009. |
Publisher: | London: Continuum |
Abstract: | Considers issues and controversies - legal, military, commercial and environmental - arising in Arctic from retreat of sea ice and growing international interest in regional reserves of oil and other minerals. Examines recent speculation that Arctic could become setting for future resource conflict, and argues that, although region is strategic location, likelihood of war has been exaggerated. |
