Russia in the Arctic
The Russian icebreaker KRASIN breaks through the McMurdo Sound sea ice near Ross Island
The Arctic has returned with a vengeance as an area of international contention and Russia has continued to make aggressive moves and claims regarding territory in the Arctic Ocean. The tendency to invoke military and security issues and instruments in this region of the world continues apace. The essays compiled in this volume, taken from SSI's 2010 conference on Russia, explore the Russian and international competition for influence and rights over the exploration and commercial exploitation of the Arctic.
