Robert Habeck: Arctic Meltdown - The Redefinition of the World

Description

A journey to the far north − and into the future of global politics. Where once eternal ice marked the boundaries of civilization, today the future of our security is at stake. The Arctic warming, which is progressing four times faster than the global average, causes the ice to melt and sparks international ambitions: interests that are to be enforced ruthlessly. Robert Habeck sketches the history of the Arctic, including exploitation by Denmark, tells of the people living there, and looks behind the scenes of world politics. He analyzes the American claim to Greenland, describes Russia's aggressive return to the 'Red Arctic', explains China's grasp of the 'Polar Silk Road' – and examines what the race for new trade routes and gigantic mineral deposits means for the rule-based order of the world.
