The Polar Pivot by Ryan Patrick Burke
Once impassable and inhospitable, both the Arctic region and Antarctica are rapidly emerging as geopolitically strategic hot spots. As Ryan Burke writes in The Polar Pivot, the ice is melting and the tensions rising. In this new environment, what are the stakes? Why are Russia and China racing to increase their military capabilities and infrastructures in the polar regions? What is the United States doing to safeguard its interests and influence in response? Arguing that both poles are becoming contested military domains in an arena of great power competition, Burke tackles these questions and outlines the shift necessary in US defense policy to face a potentially looming crisis.“Makes a sophisticated and well-structured argument for the importance of the polar regions to the future national security of the United States... The Polar Pivot [is] an important contribution to the strategic debate over how the United States and its allies might best prepare for a potentially lengthy period of great power suspicion and rivalry.” — C. Dale Walton, Comparative Strategy
“Should be in any collection concerned with US strategic and military goals in the 21st century.” — Choice
“An important, interesting, well-researched, well-reasoned, and logically argued presentation of an increasingly important and often neglected geopolitical region.” — Lt Col. James M. Davitch, Air & Space Operations Review
