This timely book supplements well-established Euro-Atlantic perspectives on the Arctic by offering fresh insights into emerging issues and opportunities in the region through the application of a North Pacific lens. The book brings together an array of perspectives, including voices from China, Russia, and the United States along with the voices of Indigenous peoples and other Arctic residents. The result is a multidimensional assessment of the circumstances of the Arctic in increasingly turbulent times and an examination of opportunities for peaceful competition even under conditions of increased tension.
