The Northern Sea Route. A Comprehensive Analysis Северный морской путь. Комплексный анализ

Издание на английском языке
The purpose of this book is to connect these research streams from an interdisciplinary and multilevel perspective, with the aim of reviving scholarly analysis of the NSR. Given relatively little guidance from prior literature, the book has a firmly pioneering, exploratory and contemporary character. Integrating thought from politics, economics, international law, maritime logistics, and navigation, the book combines scholarly analysis and business practice to not only contribute to academic discussion but also to provide empirical, real-world evidence about the potentials, challenges, and opportunities the NSR encompasses. Finally, the book aims to place the NSR in its Arctic context by analyzing how and why political and economic issues in the political agendas of the Arctic littoral states, as well as the developments of the shipping and extractive industries are likely to influence the future development of the NSR.
