Canadian and U.S. Defense Planning Toward the Arctic

Suzanne M. Holroyd

Expert InsightsPublished 1989

Cooperation between the United States and Canada is necessary to ensure the security of the Arctic. That cooperation entails compromises by both nations: Canada must make concessions regarding its sovereignty over Arctic waters, and the United States must be willing to share technologies and costs. This paper argues for a joint monitoring mechanism that would play a crucial part in formulating and implementing Canadian-U.S. policy in the Arctic.
