Here there be dragons? Chinese submarine options in the Arctic
In the wake of new academic and government attention paid to China’s growing Arctic security interests, this article examines the strategic advantages which may lead China to deploy submarines into the polar waters as well as the disadvantages and dangers inherent in such a mission. In contrast to the general belief that such an under-ice presence is both imminent and dangerous to the US and its allies, this piece suggests a more nuanced apprecia…
Opening an Arctic Escape Route: The Bellot Strait Expedition
During the second half of the 1950s, Canadian and American vessels surged into the North American Arctic to establish military installations and to chart northern waters. This article narrates the expeditions by the eastern and western units of the Bellot Strait hydrographic survey group in 1957, explaining how these “modern explorers” grappled with unpredictable ice conditions, weather, and extreme isolation to chart a usable Northwest Passage f…
Canada’s Arctic Offshore and Patrol Ships (Aops): Their history and purpose
Preparing for the next Arctic sovereignty crisis: The Northwest Passage in the age of Donald Trump
Dating to the early Cold War, Canada and the US have disagreed on the status of the Northwest Passage. For Canada, the waters of the Arctic Archipelago are internal, historic waters. For the US, the sea route is an international strait. Despite this fundamental disagreement, cooperation between the two states in the Arctic has long been effective and friendly. In part, this can be attributed to decades of careful diplomacy, which has strategicall…

The New Economics of North American Arctic Oil
Over the past five years there has been a remarkable resurgence in oil and gas exploration in the North American Arctic. From completed disinterest only a half a decade ago the region has attracted billions of dollars in new investments from a host of different international oil companies. Unlike the past booms in the region, which inevitably ended in busts, this new wave of development is different. This article examines the changes in both the …
From Far and Wide: A Complete History of Canada’s Arctic Sovereignty, by Peter Pigott
On page 267, in commenting on the unfortunate experience of Abraham Ulrikab and his Labrador countrymen in Europe, the editors refer to Abraham's journal (2005), written "in Inuktitut and intended for his relatives and for the missionaries...." It should be noted that the Inuktitut original has not survived, and it is uncertain whether the intended Labrador Inuit audience ever saw it. The journal is known today only through a German translation o…
A very practical requirement: Under-ice operations in the Canadian Arctic, 1960–1986

The Northwest Passage in Canadian Policy: An Approach for the 21st Century
Over the past decade there has been an Arctic revival of sorts in Canadian politics. Recent events have boosted the region's visibility on the political landscape and the north has found a new prominence in government policy. The media's reaction to the dispute with Denmark over tiny Hans Island, the aggressive Russian claims to the continental shelf, and the increasing concern generated by global warming's melting of the Arctic icecap have all c…
