A systematic investigation of both the geopolitical commonalities and differences between the Arctic and Antarctic. The objective is to study them both together, and then to present a broader global context so that a new research agenda can be set for further comparative polar studies.

Recent controversies over the political and environmental management of the Antarctic ensure that it will remain an important global issue. Drawing on recent developments in critical geopolitics and cultural geography, Klaus Dodds examines the six major nations of the Southern hemisphere currently involved in the Antarctic.
