"The Arctic is a useful place to witness how societies and states are negotiating an environmental and geopolitical order, with scenarios that are not mutually exclusive but intertwined."
"An extractive Arctic is marked by oil and gas development that is spearheaded by Russia and the United States, reflecting the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region."
Unfrozen examines the Arctic's transformation amid climate change and geopolitical shifts. It addresses Indigenous sovereignty, economic development, military infrastructure, and scientific research. The book presents three scenarios for the Arctic's future: extractive, endangered, and adversarial, highlighting the interconnectedness of these visions. Bennett and Dodds emphasize the importance of understanding how societies and states navigate environmental and geopolitical challenges in the region. Their engaging writing makes complex topics accessible to both the public and experts in Arctic policy.
