This timely publication aims to explore the expanding influence of BRICS+ countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and others) in the Arctic region. The book will examine this growing presence through political, economic, environmental, and strategic perspectives, offering a comprehensive analysis of how these emerging powers are reshaping Arctic dynamics.
Contributors are invited to address key themes including geopolitical strategies, economic investments, impacts on indigenous and local communities, governance and international law frameworks, security and military presence, and specific Arctic engagement strategies of BRICS+ nations. We particularly welcome country-specific chapters focusing on the Arctic policies and activities of individual BRICS+ countries.
For those interested in contributing, please prepare an abstract of 200–250 words with 5–6 keywords, accompanied by a brief 100-word author biography. Completed chapters should be 6,000–7,000 words including references, formatted in APA style using Times New Roman 12-point font with 1.5 line spacing.
Important dates to note: the deadline for abstract submission is 30 May 2025, with acceptance notifications to be sent by 15 June 2025. Full chapters will be due by 31 October 2025.
All submissions should be directed to: cfcarcticbook@gmail.com with the subject line "Arctic Chapter Abstract."
The editors encourage interdisciplinary perspectives and invite scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to contribute to this important conversation on the evolving role of BRICS+ countries in shaping the future of the Arctic region.
