A new Great Game is under way. As the frozen poles start to melt, a
new “ice silk road” is emerging in the newly-navigable Arctic Ocean
– and it’s subject of intense commercial and military
competition between China, Europe, the US and Russia. Trump’s
on-off threats to Greenland are still causing consternation across
Europe and NATO, China sees a new opportunity for dominance, and to
Russia the Arctic is the next military arena. Will the next
major standoff happen at the top of the world? Gavin Esler is talk
to journalist and author Rana Foroohar about her book Sea Change:
America’s Great Game in the Arctic Circle and how global warming
and great power competition are coming to a head in the Far North.
