The North American Arctic: Themes in Regional Security Edited by The North American Arctic addresses the emergence of a new security relationship within the Dwayne Ryan Menezes North American North. It focuses on current and emerging security issues that confront the North American Arctic and that shape relationships between and with neighbouring states (Alaska in Heather N. Nicol the US; Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada; Greenland and Russia). Identifying the degree to which ‘domain awareness’ has redefined the traditional military focus, while a new human rights discourse undercuts traditional ways of managing sovereignty and territory, the volume’s contributors question normative security arrangements. Although security itself is not an obsolete concept, our understanding of what constitutes real human-centred security has become outdated. The contributors argue that there are new regionally specific threats originating from a wide range of events and possibilities, and very different subjectivities that can be brought to understand the shape of Arctic security and security relationships in the twenty-first century. The North American Arctic provides a framework or lens through which many new developments are assessed in order to understand their impact on a changing circumpolar region at different scales – from the level of community to the broader national and regional scale. Dwayne Ryan Menezes is Founder and Managing Director of Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) and Honorary Fellow at the UCL Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction. Heather N.Heather Nicol Menezes Dwayne Ryan by Edited Heather N. Nicol is Professor in the School of the Environment and Acting Director of the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University (Canada). m Themes in Regional Security Cover image: © arctic-tern / iStock Cover design: www.ironicitalics.com The North American Arctic The North American Arctic Themes in Regional Security Edited by Dwayne Ryan Menezes and Heather N.

  • The Ice Age in the North American Arctic
    THEICE AGE IN THENORTH AMERICAN ARCTIC Richard Foster Flint” Significance of glacialand interglacial ages RCTIC North America’, incommon with the rest of theworld, is now emerging from the latest of the series of glacial ages which, as a group, haveA characterized the last million years or more of geological time. During the glacial ages, each of which was a hundred thousand years or more in length, the mean temperatures at the earth’s surface were markedly lower than today. In consequence theproportion of snowfall to rainfall increased, melting diminished, and the accumulated snow formed glaciers. These great ice masses spread outward, slowly flowing under their own weight, until they covered one quarter to nearly one third of the land area of the world, principally of course in high and middle latitudes. In North America and Greenland alone, the area covered by ice amounted to seven million square miles. Between the cold glacial ages, warmer times intervened. The record of the soils formedin temperate latitudes during the warmer, interglacial ages shows that those ages were longer than the glacial ages-one of them probably lasted 300,000 years. The record of the fossil animals and plants entombed in the deposits of interglacial times establishes that one or more of those times was warmer than today; from this the inference follows that the interglacial ages probably witnessed a more extensive disappearance of ice fromthe arcticregions than is nowthe case. Infact for the world as a wholethe present is a time transitional from glacial to interglacial. The great ice sheets 1 that formerly blanketed much of North America and Eurasia have disappeared, but more than ten per cent of the world’s land area still remains covered by glacier ice.

  • The Arctic Circle Is an Independent Nonprofit Organization Founded By
    The Arctic Circle is an independent nonprofit organization founded by President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson of Iceland, former Greenland Prime Minister Kuupik Kleist, Alaska Dispatch and Arctic Imperative Summit founder Alice Rogoff and other prominent leaders on Arctic issues. The organization’s mission is to facilitate dialogue and build relationships to responsibly address rapid changes in the Arctic. Given the complexity of the issues involving the region and their global impact, the Arctic Circle provides a nonpartisan platform to convene a broad group of stakeholders for knowledge-sharing and cooperation. With sea ice levels at their lowest point in recorded history, the world’s G-20 political leaders, investors, business executives and the media are now recognizing the importance of the region and the challenges and opportunities this presents for all nations, for people around the world. ANNUAL ASSEMBLY In the fall of 2013, the Arctic Circle established itself as the preeminent international gathering of its kind. Held in Reykjavík, Iceland, at the Harpa Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre, the Arctic Circle Assembly brought together more than 1,200 international decision-makers from more than 40 nations, including Russia, the United States and other Arctic nations as well as Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The event allowed existing institutions to reach a diverse global audience in a new and efficient way. Topics of focus included the latest scientific data on climate change and strategies to mitigate its effects, the prospects and challenges of Arctic energy development, how the Northern Sea Route will change global shipping, investment opportunities in the Arctic, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
