Download or read book The History of the International Polar Years IPYs written by Susan Barr and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although international scientific cooperation - particularly in meteorology - was established previous to the first International Polar Year, the IPY-1 (1882-83) is considered to be the first revolutionary step towards an extensive international cooperation in the polar areas for the benefit of science rather than national prestige and territorial gain. This was followed by IPY-2 (1932-33) and IPY-3 - actually the International Geophysical Year (1957-58) - before the crowning effort of IPY-4 (2007-08). The history of these years is recounted here and explains the political, economic, technical and scientific conditions and expectations that laid the basis for each IPY and which gradually expanded both the scope and extent of our understanding of the complexities in polar regions

Download or read book The Emerging Politics of Antarctica written by Anne-Marie Brady and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the post-Cold War challenges facing Antarctic governance. It seeks to understand the interests of new players in Antarctic affairs such as China, India, Korea and Malaysia, and how other key players such as Russia and the USA or claimant states such as New Zealand or France are coping in the new global order. Antarctica is the world's fifth largest continent and its territories are claimed by seven different states. Since 1961 Antarctica has been managed under the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), a regime which, according to its critics, by the terms of its membership effectively excludes most of the nations of the world. This book examines the post-Cold War challenges facing Antarctic governance, and is organized thematically into three sections: Part 1considers the role of Antarctic politics in the current post-Cold War, post-colonial era and the impact this new political environment is having on the ATS. Part 2looks at the competing foreign policy objectives of a representative range of countries with Antarctic activities. Part 3examines issues that have the potential to destabilise the order of the Antarctic Treaty System, such as unrestricted tourism and new advances in science and technology. The Emerging Politics of Antarcticawill be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, polar studies and foreign policy studies.

Download or read book Antarctic Cities written by Juan Francisco Salazar and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cities of Cape Town, Christchurch, Hobart, Punta Arenas, and Ushuaia are formally recognized international gateway cities through which flows most travel to the Antarctic region. All significant engagement with the South Polar region is co-ordinated through them. By geographical placement and historical contingency, these cities have a special connection to their bioregions to the south. Today, the Antarctic region faces unprecedented challenges. These Southern Oceanic Rim cities, individually and as a group, are in a position to play an important role in defining how Antarctica is imagined, discursively constructed, and vicariously experienced. This requires elaboration of the more conventional roles they have played as 'gateway cities'. As this research report shows, these five cities are much more than gateways. They are intimately connected to the south in ways-historical, cultural, political, affective-that exceed the logistical and transport function implied in the notion of gateway. With the 'ice continent' taking on a new centrality in global public consciousness in the Anthropocene, these cities' relationship with the region to their south is likely to become an even more valuable part of their urban identity. As the future of the Antarctic hangs in delicate balance, this research project argues that these cities are key to securing the future of this fragile region. Antarctic gateway cities are urban centres that can embody the values associated with Antarctica-international co-operation, scientific innovation, environmental protection-and act as global stewards of the South Polar region. As Antarctic custodial cities these urban centres can strengthen an existing interlinked southern-rim network, to better learn from and benefit each other. The Antarctic Cities project has sought to shift the emphasis on the role and responsibilities of nation-states in Antarctica and pay attention to the roles and responsibilities of these five cities formally recognized as the Antarctic gateway cities. It has sought to summarize this change in conception and function by interchanging 'gateway' with 'custodian'. In this context, it seeks to inform decision-makers and citizens on how their Antarctic gateway cities can best effect a cultural, political, ecological, and economic transition towards becoming Antarctic custodial cities.
