The book discusses the challenges in harnessing the Arctic's potential, and making it sustainable and productive. It enables both researchers and practitioners to apply the theoretical knowledge obtained in the field to solve challenging issues. The book focuses on the management and development of Arctic shipping, including the use of shipping for natural resource exploration and the socio-economic implications of shipping activities. Sections cover the geography, planning, environmental, economics, management, policy, regulations, and governance.
The book also closely integrates the implications of Arctic activities with indigenous ways of life. It is divided into four major sections, namely Theoretical Settings, Economic Opportunities and Risks, Operational Challenges, and Environmental and Social Implications. This book is a quality companion to any researchers, policymakers, and industrial practitioners involved in transport and environmental planning and management as a solid platform for further research, planning, and development of appropriate policies and practices.
- Captures the latest state of affairs in Arctic shipping and recent evolutions
- Shows forward-thinking policies of the Arctic by leading scholars, predicting a very favorable future of the Arctic
- Focuses on operational aspects—constraints, challenges and opportunities, and the extent to which shipping can become a development tool
Scholars and researchers, including PhD, MBA, independent researchers, and other graduate students in engineering, geography, planning, economics, environmental studies, transport, and logistics disciplines; Senior policymakers and industrial practitioners including government officials (Arctic planners, maritime administrators etc.), shipping companies’ crewing and/or preparedness managers, marine insurance companies, maritime consultants
