The Canadian Arctic is in transition. As climate change reduces the thickness and extent of the region’s sea-ice, newly open waters are facilitating shipping and development along the Northwest Passage. With this new activity comes new political and security challenges and the reemergence of decades old questions of sovereignty and jurisdiction. In this chapter, Lajeunesse offers an overview of the present state and evolution of Canada’s defence, security, and circumpolar policies and objectives in the Arctic. |
