Notes

Arctic Front is a sharply written, timely examination of Canada’s relationship with its Arctic. Co‑authored by four leading northern specialists, the book traces a history of chronic neglect—political indifference, missed economic opportunities, and weak sovereign presence—while showing how Canada has reacted only after other circumpolar powers raised challenges. As climate change thins sea‑ice and opens the Northwest Passage, the authors warn that Canada’s lack of a robust defence‑development strategy leaves it vulnerable to foreign claims and resource competition. The work calls for immediate, integrated action—combining security,
infrastructure, and sustainable development—to secure Canada’s interests and fulfill its obligations to the North before the region’s fragility turns into strategic weakness.
