| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The melting of the Arctic ice has seen a renewed focus on the High North by many countries seeking influence there, including the UK. However, James Rogers argues that UK policy-makers should now look beyond this region to the emerging 'Wider North', to which the UK will eventually be connected by sea as the Arctic opens up further. If it is to become the 'strategic pivot' of this new geopolitical grouping - as Rogers suggests - the UK should actively foster stronger ties with both the Northern European countries of the Wider North as well as those in Asia, like Japan and South Korea. |
