Description

On Thin Ice explores the relationship between the Inuit and the up to date state within the vast but frivolously populated North American Arctic. It chronicles the aspiration of the Inuit to take part within the formation and implementation of diplomatic and national security policies around the Arctic region and to give a contribution to the reconceptualization of Arctic Security, including the redefinition of the core values inherent in northern defense policy.

With the warming of the Earth’s climate, the Arctic rim states have paid increasing attention to the commercial opportunities, strategic challenges, and environmental risks of climate change. As the long isolation of the Arctic comes to an end, the Inuit who are indigenous to the region are showing tremendous diplomatic and political skills as they continue to work with the more populous states that assert sovereign keep watch over over the Arctic so that you can mutually assert joint sovereignty around the region

Published at the 50th anniversary of Ken Waltz’s classic Man, the State and War, Zellen’s On Thin Ice is at once a tribute to Waltz’s elucidation of the three levels of analysis in addition to an enhancement of his famous “Three Images,” with the addition of a new “Fourth Image” to describe a tribal level of analysis. This model remains salient in not only the Arctic where up to date state sovereignty remains limited, but in many other conflict zones where tribal peoples retain many attributes of their indigenous sovereignty.
