About this product
Product Information
"An important, interesting,well-researched, well-reasoned, and logically argued presentation of anincreasingly important and often neglected geopolitical region." --Lt Col. James M.Davitch, Air & Space Operations Review "Should be in any collection concernedwith US strategic and military goals in the 21stcentury." -- Choice "Makes a sophisticated and well-structuredargument for the importance of the polar regions to the future nationalsecurity of the United States.... The Polar Pivot [is] an importantcontribution to the strategic debate over how the United States and its alliesmight best prepare for a potentially lengthy period of great power suspicionand rivalry." --C. Dale Walton, Comparative Strategy "Unique and comprehensive.... This thought-provoking book should be required reading for all those interested in Great Power competition in the polar regions." --Ben Gochman, University of Denver "Provides compelling information as to the significance of the Arctic and Antarctica as areas requiring a renewed security focus for the US and other key international actors. A must-read for anyone interested in the polar regions." --Cameron Carlson, University of Alaska Fairbanks Once impassable and inhospitable, both the Arctic region and Antarctica are rapidly emerging as geopolitically strategic hot spots. As Ryan Burke writes in The Polar Pivot , the ice is melting and the tensions rising. In this new environment, what are the stakes? Why are Russia and China racing to increase their military capabilities and infrastructures in the polar regions? What is the United States doing to safeguard its interests and influence in response? Arguing that both poles are becoming contested military domains in an arena of great power competition, Burke tackles these questions and outlines the shift necessary in US defense policy to face a potentially looming crisis. CONTENTS: On Thin Ice: The Polar Melting Pot. Security, Sovereignty, and Influence in the Polar Regions. The Four Cs: Commons, Claims, Covenants, and Cosmos. Polar Peer Powers: China and Russia. US Polar Policy and Strategy. The Polar Trap: Conditions for Conflict. Toward a US Grand Strategy. Balancing on the Pivot: The Future of Polar Security.
