description: The Northern waters of Europe and the Soviet Union have been described as the naval battleground of any future superpower conflict. The increased US-Soviet interest in mobile and concealed weapon platforms has led to heightened interest in these waters. Cold Water Politics surveys recent strategy policies and military planning of the superpowers in the region. Ola Tunander looks at the long-term geopolitical consequences for global peace and security, as well as for the Scandinavian Peninsula and the Northern waters.
