Environments, Resources, and Infrastructures Between Russia and the Asia-Pacific

The volume brings together interdisciplinary studies of the environments, resource policies, and infrastructures in the North Pacific, spanning the eighteenth century to the present. From early colonial encounters to post-Soviet transnational cooperation, from hunting and whaling to oil and gas extraction, from imperial conservation to climate change, this collection offers new perspectives to the histories of a region increasingly important to global ecological and strategic debates.
