Not everyone in this country will agree with or be pleased by what the author has to say. But every one of us who is interested in the Arctic stands to gain by coming to terms with his take on a theme that's in danger of becoming stale. And if somehow a good number of us were to become critically aware of the information, perspectives, and insights that are on offer here, the quality of Canadian public debate about the Arctic would improve, perhaps greatly. All along, the rigour and ease displayed by Adam Lajeunesse in delving into the governmental side of Canadian Arctic policy-making are a challenge to those who would do the same. - Franklyn Griffiths, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto (Arctic) \u003cp\u003e…this book [is] an indispensable and major contribution to the literature and discussions on Canadian Arctic maritime sovereignty claims, most importantly the contested Northwest Passage … Lajeunesse not only provides a solid explanation of the subject's historiographical debates, he offers a new perspective that enriches the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e - Elizabeth Elliot-Meisel, Creighton University (The International Journal of Maritime History) \u003cp\u003eLajeunesse's study should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in the history of Canada's Arctic policy and the basis of its Arctic maritime sovereignty. This book should also prove useful to policy-makers. As Lajeunesse has shown, holes remain in the sovereignty tapestry that covers Canada's Arctic waters. Questions will continue to arise. In providing a window into the past developments that have shaped Canadian legal thinking and Arctic policy, Lajeunesse has done a great service for those engaging in future discussions, deliberations, and debates about these issues.\u003c\/p\u003e - Peter Kikkert, Sheridan College (International Journal)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1988, after years of failed negotiations over the status of the Northwest Passage, Brian Mulroney gave Ronald Reagan a globe, pointed to the Arctic, and said \"Ron that's ours. We own it lock, stock, and icebergs.\" A simple statement, it summed up a hundred years of official policy. Since the nineteenth century, Canadian governments have claimed ownership of the land and the icy passageways that make up the Arctic Archipelago. Unfortunately for Ottawa, many countries – including the United States – still do not recognize these as internal Canadian waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrucial to understanding the complex nature of Canadian Arctic sovereignty is an understanding of its history. Lock, Stock, and Icebergs draws on recently declassified Canadian and American archival material to chart the origins and development of Canadian Arctic maritime policy. Uncovering decades of internal policy debates, secret negotiations with the United States, and long-classified joint-defence projects, Adam Lajeunesse traces the circuitous history of Canada's Arctic maritime sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Origins of Canada's Arctic Maritime Sovereignty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Early Cold War and the End of Splendid Isolation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Continental Defence and Straight Baselines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Working with the Americans in the Arctic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Nuclear Submarine and Early Arctic Operations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Canada's Law of the Sea Priorities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The \u003cem\u003eManhattan\u003c\/em\u003e Crisis and the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Securing the Canadian Claim: Defence and Diplomacy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Canada and the Third UN Law of the Sea Conference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 The Cold War under Ice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 The Establishment of Straight Baselines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Unfinished Business\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739371270424,"sku":"9780774831086","price":60.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/lock-stock-and-icebergs-a-history-of-canadas-arctic-maritime-sovereignty-hardback-9780774831086","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
