Arctic Sovereignty Initiatives in the Canadian North: A Historical Review, 1700 - 1980 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468193176)

Each generation of Canadians has "discovered" the Arctic and in a way, redefined itself in relation to it. Traditionally this re-discovery is accompanied by an expression of concern over sovereignty claim to the islands and waters of the north. The importance of sovereignty has once again become a major concern because of climate change and pressure to explore the Arctic by Russia, Denmark, Canada, and the United States and others for oil, gas and mineral resources.
