This book is about how coast guards are becoming states’ foremost tool to manage changes occurring in ocean politics generally, and in the Arctic specifically. It looks at states’ rights at sea, changes occurring in the Arctic region, how coast guards are handling issues arising, and how international cooperation can deal with some of the related challenges. .

Offering a concise and coherent look at geopolitics and security in the Arctic, this book analyses how the High North has become central to the security interaction between NATO and Russia, and between China and the United States. Featuring contributions from top scholars in the field, the book highlights the key issues relating to the formation of Norwegian foreign and security policy in the North. Chapters examine security issues surrounding Svalbard, and how the Arctic has become integral to Norwegian security, regional development, and identity politics. Overall, this book presents a comprehensive examination of Norway's approach to foreign policy and security issues in an area of immense strategic and ecological responsibility. With an introductory statement from the former Foreign Minister of Norway, this book will be essential reading for academics and students of European politics, human geography, international relations, Nordic studies, and political geography and geopolitics. It will also be beneficial for government officials and security personnel working on Arctic issues, and in Nordic countries and Northern Europe.

"When changes in the oceans impact fisheries, can states handle the management of these changes amongst themselves, or are they locked in patterns and mechanisms that prove inflexible and inefficient in dealing with rapid external environmental changes? This volume explores how international institutions and regimes set up to manage marine resources - predominantly fisheries - are adapting to the effects of climate change and the related consequences for the geographic distribution of these resources. In the Barents Sea, cod is expanding north-eastwards, while in the Norwegian Sea significant changes in abundance, distribution and migration patterns can be observed in pelagic species such as mackerel. In the Southern Ocean, the combined effect of increasing temperatures with associated declines in sea ice, ocean acidification and changes in circulation is likely to affect the geographical distribution of krill. These developments put established international management regimes under pressure. In this interdisciplinary research volume, world-leading marine biologists, international lawyers and political scientists join efforts to study the resilience of Arctic and Antarctic marine resource management institutions to large-scale shifts of major marine stocks."--
