Or are these activities vastly exaggerated?  In this rich and wide-ranging book, Klaus Dodds and Mark Nuttall look behind the headlines and hyperbole to reveal a complex picture of the so-called scramble for the poles.  Whilst anxieties over the potential for conflict and the destruction of what is often perceived as the world's last wildernesses have come to dominate Polar debates and are, to some extent, justified, their study also highlights longer historical and geographical patterns and processes of human activity in these remote territories.   Over the past century, Polar landscapes have been probed, drilled, fished, tested on and dug up, as their indigenous populations have struggled to protect their rights and interests.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNo longer remote places, or themselves 'poles apart' from one another, the contemporary geopolitics of the Polar regions has lessons for us all as we confront a warming world where access to resources is a concern for states, big and small. \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 \u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Maps\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Scrambling for the Extraordinary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Making and Remaking the Polar Regions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Under Ice and Snow\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Governing the Arctic and Antarctic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: New Resource Frontiers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Opening up the Poles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Polar Demands and Demanding Polar Regions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geography%20%5BRG%5D%22\"\u003eRG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407322738968,"sku":"9780745652443","price":44.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745652443.jpg?v=1784161830","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-scramble-for-the-poles-the-geopolitics-of-the-arctic-and-antarctic-hardback-9780745652443","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
