Coast Guards and Ocean Politics in the Arctic

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.
