The authors of this book, edited by Marcus Matthias Keupp, provide a thorough and contemporary analysis of the Northern Sea Route. Academics, liner operators, entrepreneurs and intelligence analysts with an interest in the Northern Sea Route are informed in detail about maritime challenges, novel business models, and the security and regulatory framework of this potential alternative to the Suez Canal. The authors summarize twenty years of research on the Northern Sea Route and present original material and novel research results never published before. Written from an interdisciplinary, balanced, and neutral perspective, the opportunities and challenges of the Northern Sea Route are discussed in the light of both local regulation and international law.
