Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Across the Arctic, the most decisive strategic contests are not only between rival states but within states themselves: between national projects that promise security and prosperity, and northern communities whose rights and institutions determine what can actually be built. Airfields, ports, roads, mines, and communications sites may look like engineering feats from afar, yet on the ground they are legitimacy projects, dependent on authority that is shared, negotiated, and sometimes withheld. As Arctic competition intensifies, the question that quietly governs outcomes is not simply where a state wants to go, but who must agree for it to stay.Indigenous Power in the New World Order explains how Indigenous political power operates as a strategic factor in Arctic state behaviour. Aksel Brevik shows how land claims agreements and governance structures translate into concrete leverage over infrastructure siting, permitting, monitoring, and operational rules. Through comparative analysis of consent dynamics and co-governance institutions, the book clarifies why procedural consultation often fails, how communities convert rights into bargaining power, and how states respond when consent is contested. It also examines co-management regimes as a form of governance infrastructure: institutions that can stabilise development and security presence when they are properly mandated, resourced, and trusted.Written for students, analysts, policy audiences, and general readers of geopolitics, the book offers a durable framework for understanding Arctic strategy through strategic legitimacy and local decision authority. Readers will come away able to assess when a project is likely to endure, why some agreements produce long-term governability while others unravel, and how partnership models can align national aims with local security and cultural continuity. The result is a clearer view of the Arctic not as an empty chessboard, but as a politically dense region where the future is negotiated - and where power is often closer to home than strategy documents admit.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Arctic rewards the patient more than the powerful. In a region where cold, distance, and darkness make presence hard to sustain, smaller states can shape what larger ones attempt - and what they abandon as too costly, too visible, or too risky. Yet that influence is fragile: a single incident at sea, a misread exercise, or an infrastructure failure can turn routine governance into strategic crisis.The Polar Middle Powers explains how Norway, Canada, Denmark, and Finland "punch above their weight" by building capability portfolios that convert limited resources into leverage. Instead of treating security as a question of ships and aircraft alone, Aksel Brevik shows how alliances, coast guards, research stations, connectivity, and institutional entrepreneurship interact to produce maritime domain awareness, credibility, and restraint. The book compares how each state chooses niches, how alliance positioning expands and constrains options, and why deterrence by denial often fits polar realities better than threats of punishment. It also examines the quieter instruments of arctic security governance: rules, standards, chairmanships, and the legitimacy that comes from doing the daily work of safety and enforcement in shared spaces.Written for students, general readers, and policy and security professionals, this is a guide to thinking clearly about influence under constraint. Readers will come away with a framework for judging which investments deliver real strategic effect, how escalation risks can be managed without illusion, and why the future of the High North will be decided as much by institutions and infrastructure as by headline deployments.
