This book explores Eurasia's growing embrace of its maritime geography from the Indian Ocean to
Pacific Asia and the Arctic. In an age of climate change the melting of the Arctic will
transform Eurasia's importance in addition to influencing the political economic and
military dynamics across Eurasia's main maritime regions. These emerging shifts have already
begun to alter maritime trade and investment patterns and thus the global political economy.
It also creates a rising threat to the current status quo of world order that has long been
dominated by the Atlantic World. This edited volume showcases some of the world's leading
experts and examines Eurasia from a saltwater perspective analyzing its main maritime spaces
in a threefold manner-as avenue as arena as source-to show the significance of this
geostrategic change and why it matters for the future of the world's oceans.
