2017 North Pacific Arctic Conference (NPAC) on "Building Capacity for a Sustainable Arctic in a Changing Global Order," organized by the East-West Center and the Korea Maritime Institute convened in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 9-11, 2017. For more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/ 'The Arctic in World Affairs: A North Pacific Dialogue on Building Capacity for a Sustainable Arctic in a Changing Global Order' addresses five major themes relating to the Arctic: the impacts of a changing global order; responsible economic development of the Arctic; sustainable Arctic communities; Arctic challenges and opportunities for global maritime industries; and opportunities for enhancing the dialogue between practitioners and analysts. Bringing together prominent experts from the three North Pacific Arctic coastal states (Canada, Russia, and the United States) and three leading North Pacific non-Arctic states (China, Japan, and Korea), the book identifies and evaluates the likely effectiveness of innovative measures designed to maintain the Arctic as a zone of peace and promote sustainable development in this region.
