International Disputes and Cultural Ideas in the Canadian Arctic

This book explores the Canadian relationship with its portion of the Arctic region which revolves around the dramatic split between the appearance of absent-minded governance, bordering on indifference toward the region, and the raging nationalism during moments of actual and perceived challenge toward the sovereignty of the imagined "Canadian Arctic region." Canada's nationalistic relationship with the Arctic region is often discussed as a reactionary phenomenon to the Americanization of Canada and the product of government propaganda. As this book illustrates, however, the complexity and evolution of the Canadian relationship with the Arctic region and its implication for Canada's approach toward international relations requires a more in-depth exploration

Aceasta carte exploreaza relatia canadiana cu portiunea sa din regiunea arctica, care se invarte in jurul divizarii dramatice dintre aparitia unei guvernari absente, care se invecineaza cu indiferenta fata de regiune si nationalismul furibund in momentele de provocare reala si perceputa fata de suveranitatea imaginarul „regiune arctica canadiana”. Relatia nationalista a Canadei cu regiunea arctica este adesea discutata ca un fenomen reactionar la americanizarea Canadei si produsul propagandei guvernamentale.
