Climate change has brought the Polar Regions to the forefront of domestic and international politics. This course will use the Arctic and Antarctic as a lens through which to examine how technological advances and the demand for natural resources in moments of economic crisis and war affect global security and geopolitics.  It then considers the future governance and security of the Polar Regions as they are shaped by emerging and re-emerging geopolitical powers, such as China and Russia, in the present moment of global climate crisis and geopolitical flux.
