Abstract

Book Reviews 463 Elena Conde and Sara Iglesias Sánchez (eds), Global Challenges in the Arctic Region: Sovereignty, Environment and Geopolitical Balance (London/New York: Routledge, 2017) 464 pp. This collection of essays is the main outcome of the research project “The Race for the Arctic: Issues of International Law Arising in the Light of Climate Change” conducted under the direction of Elena Conde, which was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

In the words of the editors, the objective of the book is “to provide a genuine representation of the legal and political complexity of the Arctic, bringing together relevant and inter - connected discussions about this region” (p. 2).
