Introduction: Polar Extensions---Nordic States and Their Polar Strategies (2013)

unapi

This introductory chapter presents some general lines of argument, suggests possible conclusions and proposes the outlines of a new synthesis -- a `big picture history' that we can see in the making of the norrdic countries in the Far north. The period covered in the book is the twentieth century with a focus on the middle decades, including the Cold War and its repercussions, but several contributions bring the story all the way to the present and look to the future. This volume is unique in its coverage of the Arctic experiences of the entire nordic region, including its relations with Russia, the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Canada; never before has there been an attempt to provide a comprehensive Nordic perspective on the Arctic.
