| Summary/Abstract |
Climate induced geo-physical transformations occurring in the Arctic are also attributing to geopolitical transformations of the region. Opening up of the Arctic is resulting in a geopolitical race amongst the Arctic and non-Arctic states to dominate emerging economic and strategic opportunities in the region. Transformations in the Arctic assume global links and possess a potential of significantly impacting the Arctic as well as the Asian states. China’s assertiveness to become a Polar Great Power has set a course for new Asian perceptions towards the region. In pursuits of its economic, environmental, scientific, social and strategic endeavours, China is making significant inroads in the region to meet its short and long-term objectives. This paper makes an attempt to reconsider India’s approach towards the Arctic not by taking China as a benchmark, but rather as a useful backdrop to broaden and deepen India’s engagements in the circumpolar north.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 9 December 2013 Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird announced that Ottawa was deferring its expected submission to an obscure UN commission with regard to mineral rights on and below parts of the Arctic Ocean seabed to ensure that the eventual submission 'includes Canada's claim to the North Pole'. According to Canadian media reports, the claim that had been prepared for submission by scientists and civil servants did not include the pole, and was therefore vetoed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The following day, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his defence ministry, in televised remarks, to 'devote special attention to deploying infrastructure and military units in the Arctic' - a statement widely interpreted as a direct response to the Canadian action.
