As Antarctica continues to grow in strategic, scientific, and environmental importance, The Emerging Politics of Antarctica explores the challenges facing Antarctic governance in the post-Cold War era.
The book examines the interests of emerging players in Antarctic affairs, including China, India, South Korea, and Malaysia, and considers how established stakeholders, such as Russia, the United States, and claimant states including New Zealand and France, are adapting to a changing global order.
Antarctica, the world's fifth-largest continent, is governed under the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), which has managed the region since 1961. The book investigates how evolving political, scientific, and economic pressures are influencing this unique international regime.
Organised into three thematic sections, the book:
Part 1 Examines the role of Antarctic politics in the post-Cold War and post-colonial era, and the impact of these changing global dynamics on the Antarctic Treaty System.
Part 2 Explores the competing foreign policy objectives of a diverse range of countries involved in Antarctic activities.
Part 3 Investigates issues with the potential to challenge the stability of the Antarctic Treaty System, including unrestricted tourism and advances in science and technology.
An essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in international relations, polar studies, and foreign policy, The Emerging Politics of Antarctica provides valuable insight into one of the world's most unique governance systems.
