This publication contains the results of the richest and comprehensive professional study ever undertaken of the conditions and factors determining both range and scope of maritime activities in Arctic region. Moreover, subject study is the first one to compare the three transportation corridors available today in the subject area.
Among the factors addressed during the study there were geopolitics and global warming problem, modern trends in the international economics, available resources, military affairs and many other interdependent and interacting factors.
The study should not be treated only as a complete and thorough interdisciplinary analysis of the Arctic region - it will also serve as a remarkably user-friendly guidebook to be used by anyone engaged in shipping, scientific, legal or commercial activities in the region.
The content is very well prepared and illustrated; it includes numerous detailed and informative maps and figures making it a really required reading for persons with any interest in Arctic region and shipping activities there. Note that there are not too many publications available today and covering this topic so have a close look.
