Isolated for centuries, the Arctic is fast becoming the epicenter of competition among the world’s most powerful countries. As climate change hastens melting of the polar ice, old and new players are asserting themselves to exploit prodigious energy resources. Russia, long dominant in the Arctic, sees opportunities and threats from Chinese interest in the region while the US struggles to assert leadership and the rule of law. The future of energy development in the region could be anybody’s game.
