"The Arctic is changing quickly: environmentally, economically, and politically, without sustainable political and military cooperation because of the conflicts of interest among the stakeholders. Russia, Canada, the United States, the Nordic states, and non-Arctic states such as China, Japan, and others see the economic benefits from the region but struggle with addressing the security challenges and the potential environmental impact of activities conducted there. This book provides a snapshot of the areas connecting transport, environmental security, resource development, and military security with contributions written in 2021 and others written after Russia's second invasion of Ukraine."

A groundbreaking look at how America exported mass incarceration around the globe, from a rising young historian American Purgatory will forever change how we understand the rise of mass incarceration. It will forever change how we understand this country. -Clint Smith, bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across AmericaIn this explosive new book, historian Benjamin Weber reveals how the story of American prisons is inextricably linked to the expansion of American power around the globe.A vivid work of hidden history that spans the wars to subjugate Native Americans in the mid-nineteenth century, the conquest of the western territories, and the creation of an American empire in Panama, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, American Purgatory reveals how prison imperialism -the deliberate use of prisons to control restive, subject populations-is written into our national DNA, extending through to our modern era of mass incarceration. Weber also uncovers a surprisingly rich history of prison resistance, from the Seminole Chief Osceola to Assata Shakur-one that invites us to rethink the scope of America s long freedom struggle.Weber s brilliantly documented text is supplemented by original maps highlighting the global geography of prison imperialism, as well as illustrations of key figures in this history by the celebrated artist Ayo Scott. For readers of Michelle Alexander s The New Jim Crow, here is a bold new effort to tell the full story of prisons and incarceration-at home and abroad-as well as a powerful future vision of a world without prisons
