      abstract = {This book focuses on the participation and interaction of  the three great powersi.e., China, Russia, and the United  Statesin Arctic affairs from an international relations  perspective. Global climate change has become a shared  problem for all mankind. One of its key elements is the  warming of the Arctic, which is affecting every dimension  of nature and humanity globally. Climate change in the  Arctic will directly affect natural ecosystems, coastal  areas, forests, water resources, agricultural production,  animal husbandry, tourism, and other economic activities in  various countries around the globe. For the Northeast Asian  region, however, the opening of the Arctic Passage by  melting sea ice presents an opportunity. The current  international legal regime for governance in the Arctic is  insufficient to cope with the challenges of global warming.  This book will be of interest to scholars following the  future development of the Arctic and the role of China as a  newcomer to Arctic affairs. Professor Edmund Li Sheng  received his M.A. and Ph.D. in political economy from  Universitaet Freiburg, Germany, after graduating with a  B.A. from Peking University. He is currently Professor and  Associate Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences,  University of Macau.},
