Arctic Navigation and Climate Change: Projections from Science for the Law of the Sea
Get PDFThe most variable climate conditions on the planet are observable in the Arctic. These conditions affect all forms of life, including the human interactions and social processes that generate law. Among the critical activities affected by climate is navigation, which is subject to national regulations, general maritime laws, and the international law of the sea. As a result of anthropogenic climate change, Arctic climate variability is already moving the system into states that humans in the Industrial Era have not experienced. Most critically, while the end point of unfettered climate change as manifest in the Arctic – an ice-free ocean – is apparent, the trajectory is not. This article employs climate and sea ice models to explore projections of future navigation in the Arctic, considers plausible termination scenarios of current Arctic Ocean prescriptions, and appraises possible revisions of international legal prescriptions currently at the foundation of the public order of the Arctic. A recalibration of the law of the sea is looming
Episode 6: World War II in Europe
No full textIn this episode, Jon O’Gorman asks James Holmes, George Satterfield and Nicholas Sarantakes about the European theater of the Second World War. The issues they discuss range from how the war starts in its proximate and underlying causes to how the interwar period enabled the start of the war because the peace of the First War was not enforced. They also look at seapower and airpower theory and the ethics of strategic bombing in the context of this war, as well as talk about the theorists Mahan, Corbett and Douhet. Lastly the panal brings the discussion into the contemporary realm and what this war and its beginnings can tell us about the current conflict in the Ukraine.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/profiles-in-strategy/1005/thumbnail.jp
Episode 4: Russo-Japanese War
No full textThis week Jon O\u27Gorman asks James Holmes, Kevin McCranie, and David Stone about the Russo-Japanese war. We discuss the naval implications of this war, why countries are risk adverse when it comes to fleets and how both Mahan and Corbett see the conflict. We also look at implications of Tsushima and the Russians vs. Japanese strategic and geographical advantages/disadvantages in the concentration of its fleet. Lastly, we talk about the contemporary relevance of the conflict in 1904 on Russia\u27s war today in Ukraine.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/profiles-in-strategy/1003/thumbnail.jp
