It also tests the recommended security force through the development of four different hypothetical scenarios in the year 2030 designed to show the forces successful implementation. Melting of the Arctic ice pack, and the opening of the Transpolar Sea Route around 2025 could lead to an increase in traffic into the North Atlantic from the Pacific (and vice versa). That movement is predicted to bring a massive influx of tourists, business interests, and government entities into the region. Along with legitimate uses of the new shipping lanes, the opportunity for terrorists, criminals, and rogue states to travel in and around the Arctic could lead to increased smuggling, violence, and sovereignty disputes (i.e., seizing uninhabited terrain). A review of Icelands current security policies indicates that the parliament provided the legal framework to create the recommended security force with the 2016 Parliamentary Resolution establishing a National Security Policy for Iceland. Many scholars and government officials believe that the Iceland public would not support a security force culturally. Yet, recent surveys reveal that many Icelanders could accept a security force to protect them from sub-strategic threats, especially if the increased security could be attained without the intervention of foreign military forces. The recommended security force utilizes Icelandic search-and-rescue volunteers and Reservists to increase the protection of the country funded by its full NATO contribution. 001445248 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 31, 2022). 001445248 650_0 $$aNational security$$zIceland. 001445248 651_0 $$aIceland$$xMilitary policy. 001445248 651_0 $$aIceland$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 001445248 651_6 $$aIslande$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y21e siècle. 001445248 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445248 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030899470$$z9783030899479$$w(OCoLC)1273076550 001445248 830_0 $$aSpringer Polar sciences. 001445248 852__ $$bebk 001445248 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-89948-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445248 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445248$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445248 980__ $$aBIB 001445248 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445248 982__ $$aEbook 001445248 983__ $$aOnline 001445248 994__ $$a92$$bISE
