While perilous to the survival of the iconic polar bear, many humans are watching these changes with an eye to what riches an open Arctic Ocean might bring forth: in oil and gas, mining, and open-water transportation. Five countries can lay claim to the potential wealth of the Arctic Ocean: Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, and the United States. But it is Russia and Canada in particular that have jumped out to the early lead in this new race for the Arctic. This month, Nicholas Breyfogle and Jeffrey Dunifon explore Russia's long history in the Arctic and the roots of its current assertive policies in the region. Ohio State University's monthly history magazine, Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, publishes scholars' original interpretations of important contemporary issues as a free public service. -- Nicholas Breyfogle Associate Professor of History The Ohio State University Editor, Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/origins/ _____ You are currently subscribed to oceans-l as: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <https://lists.iisd.ca/read/?forum=oceans-l> View oceans-l Forum <https://lists.iisd.ca/read/?forum=oceans-l> Membership Options / Unsubscribe _____ IISD is pleased to announce its newest project: Sustainable Energy Policy & Practice A knowledge management project tracking international sustainable energy activities <http://energy-l.iisd.org/> http://energy-l.iisd.org/ We also invite you to subscribe <http://energy-l.iisd.org/about-the-energy-l-mailing-%0d%0a%0d%0alist/#subsc ribe_energy-l> to ENERGY-L and post <http://energy-l.iisd.org/about-the-energy-l-mailing-%0d%0a%0d%0alist/#posti ngs_energy-l> your sustainable energy-related activities on this community listserve. <http://energy-l.iisd.org/about-the-energy-l-mailing-list/> Subscribe / More Information View ENERGY-L Forum <https://lists.iisd.ca/read/?forum=ENERGY-L> _____ Subscribe to all other IISD Reporting Services' free newsletters and lists for environment and sustainable development policy professionals at http://www.iisd.ca/email/subscribe.htm
