As the polar ice caps in the Arctic region begin to melt and recede,
various peoples and nations are approaching this change with quite
different images of that region. In this wide-ranging lecture involving
boundary disputes, environmental and resource concerns, as well as
indigenous peoples, David Caron – the President of the American
Society of International Law – identifies the images involved, the
politics and law implicit in each, and the futures for the Arctic that are
both possible and likely.
