Description: "China's interest in the Arctic is growing. What does this mean for Canada? This wide-ranging, in-depth study of China's Arctic interests offers a holistic approach to understanding Chinese presence and intentions in the circumpolar region. It explores resource development, shipping, scientific research, governance, and military strategy. Drawing on extensive research, this book eschews the assumption that Chinese actions are unified and monolithic. Instead, it offers an analysis of the different, often competing interests and priorities of Chinese government and industry. It places Chinese activity within a Canadian perspective, providing an unparalleled view of China's effect on the Canadian North."--
