The article discusses developments in the Arctic region. Due to the commercial sector's exploits of the Arctic's rich supplies of fossil fuels and other resources, the authors see people streaming into the area. They highlight the initiatives of Arctic states to control resources and mitigate risks in the region. They stress the importance of a partnership between the U.S. and other Arctic stakeholders. The authors suggest leveraging existing governance structures to expand international regulation and networking.
