Abstract

Despite a great number of past contributions, research concerning the future utilization of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as a result of the long-term growth of global transport volume is missing. This chapter, based on the author’s dissertation originally published in 2009 in German, which at the time of writing constituted one of the first attempts to respond to this research gap (Leypoldt, 2009).
