“The most urgent and important task we face is asserting Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic and northern regions, where the changing physical and geopolitical landscapes have created new threats and vulnerabilities to Canada and Canadians” Canada’s April 2024 defence policy update proclaimed. Offering readers with an overview of ideas about sovereignty, security, and international law in the Canadian Arctic since the end of the Second World War, this volume brings diverse research contributions into dialogue and seeks to lay a foundation for future research that helps students, scholars, and policy makers as they frame and shape historiographical and policy debates.
