[Review to:] Arctic State Identity, Geography, History and Geopolitical Relations, Ingrid A. Medby, (2025), Manchester, UK: Manchester University Press. 233 p. Hardback. ISBN 9781526153906

The increasing international attention for the Arctic in global geopolitics leads to a reflection on the identity of the eight states reunited in the Arctic Council by the Ottawa Declaration of 1996 and to wonder about the existence of such a thing as an “Arctic state identity.” Arctic state identity, Geography, history and geopolitical relations, by Ingrid A. Medby, fills this gap with a book that is a collection of voices “from the inside” which manages to offer a new perspective on the Arctic and its geopolitics through its human side.
