The East-West Center and the Korea Maritime Institute have co-sponsored the 2016 North Pacific Arctic Conference (NPAC) held at the East-West Center, Hawaii Imin International Conference Center, Jefferson Hall, from Aug 9-12 2016. For more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/ The Arctic in World Affairs: A North Pacific Dialogue on Emerging Arctic Issues and Policy Responses addresses four major themes in the book: (1) Arctic policies in a global context; (2) implications of the Paris agreement for the Arctic; (3) the future of the Arctic Ocean, and (4) Arctic natural gas in a global context. The contributions of 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) go beyond generalities, as they identified and assessed the effectiveness of innovative measures that potentially contribute to sustaining the Arctic as a zone of peace and promoting sustainable development in this region. 1.
