International relations; Meteorology & climatology; The Earth: natural history general

A corridor is opening at the top of the world. It promises faster trade, new minerals, and fresh lines on the map. It also brings fragile ecosystems, high-stakes patrols, and decisions that cannot be undone. This book is a field guide to the Arctic as it really works: ice as infrastructure, law as leverage, and logistics as strategy. It decodes Arctic geopolitics without romance or alarm, showing how icebreaker fleets, northern sea route experiments, and Arctic Council politics shape what happens next.

You will learn how shipping risks are priced, why NATO Arctic debates matter, and how indigenous rights Arctic frameworks alter projects on the ground. Clear scenarios make sense of Russia's Arctic strategy and China's polar policy, while case studies explain when cooperation beats confrontation. Throughout, the lens is practical: what choices face governments, firms, and communities as climate forces collide with markets and militaries.

For readers in policy, business, and the curious public, it offers a durable mental model of climate security in the far north: who decides, who pays, and who benefits when the map itself is melting.

Ingrid Rehmann is a Norwegian geopolitical journalist and Arctic policy analyst whose reporting has followed icebreakers, fishing boats, and fibre-laying ships from Tromso to the Bering Strait. Her work has appeared in international outlets including The Economist and Foreign Policy, where she explores how climate, commerce, and security collide in the far north. Raised between a coastal fishing town and a military station, she writes with a split lens: livelihoods and logistics. A quiet thread through her work is the old Norse idea of seamanship as shared responsibility, a reminder that survival in polar waters has always depended on cooperation across lines of rivalry. Rehmann's mission is simple: to translate technical maps and legal claims into stories readers can use to make sense of power in a warming world.
