Arktida – daleká, nepřístupná, sevřená krutým mrazem – měla po celá staletí pro světový řád jen okrajový význam. Dnes je v popředí rozhodujících globálních trendů. Je epicentrem světové klimatické krize, která se dotýká nás všech. Stává se frontovou linií mezi ekonomickými, politickými a vojenskými ambicemi na jedné straně a degradací životního prostředí na straně druhé. Právní režim Arktidy sehrává průkopnickou roli při zavádění inovativních forem správy. Arktida už není posledním bílým místem na mapě, je naší první hranicí. V této kolektivní monografii se teoretici i praktici – od Anchorage po Moskvu, od Nuuku po Hongkong – zabývají politickými, právními, sociálními, ekonomickými, geostrategickými a environmentálními výzvami, s nimiž se Arktida musí vyrovnávat v situaci globálního oteplování a měnícího se světového řádu, a uvažují o tom, co tyto výzvy mohou přinést v horizontu příštích desetiletí.

One of the most dangerous deficits facing transatlantic relations today is not in trade, payments, or military capabilities. It is a deficit in understanding the vital stake Americans and Europeans have developed in the health of their economic relationship. Globalization is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. The transatlantic economy generates roughly $3.5 trillion in total commercial sales a year and employs over 12 million workers in mutually ""insourced"" jobs.This book maps the increasingly dense web of investment, trade, and jobs that connects Europe's regions to America's states. It traces the impact of NAFTA and EU enlargement on transatlantic economic flows. It tracks intercontinental ""connectivity"" in the new knowledge economy, and it sets forth areas in which Europe and America continue to be global pathfinders.In the context of today's debates about globalization and transatlantic drift, this book offers some unanticipated and counterintuitive connections that have important policy implications.

Globalization is generating tremendous new connections among the four Atlantic continents—North and South America, Africa, and Europe. But as growing Atlantic interdependencies spawn new opportunities, they are also generating new vulnerabilities, requiring mutual efforts to promote human security across the region.The drug trade, flows of arms and money, human trafficking, piracy, political instability, and terrorist infiltration are notonly becoming concerns of pan-Atlantic scope. In many cases, they are interacting, fueled by the growing engagement in the region of both traditional and new nonregional players and the relative absence of effective governance or enforcement mechanisms. These “dark networks” pose pan-Atlantic challenges that require pan-Atlantic answers. In this volume authors from the four Atlantic continents explain the nature of these networks and recommend how to best cope with the challenges they present.Contributors include Nancy E. Brune (Los Alamos Labs and Center for New American Security), Charlie Edwards (Royal United Services Institute), Armando Marques-Guedes (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Laurence Cockcroft (Transparency International), Stephen Ellis (Leiden University), Martin Uadiale (Benson Idahosa University, Nigeria), and Vanda Felbab-Brown (Brookings Institution).

What does globalization mean for Europe? What are the gains and what are the pains? Who's winning and who's losing?In this volume, Dan Hamilton and Joe Quinlan continue their award-winning series on international economic issues with an up-to-date look at globalization's impact on Europe. They chart changing flows of trade, investment, people, money, and ideas, and they explain globalization's effect on European consumers, workers, companies, and governments. Globalization and Europe highlights opportunities, identifies challenges —and offers some surprising conclusions.
