Overview:
The Bering Strait Project 2nd Edition investigates aspects of an endeavour that stands among the greatest challenges of the post-Cold War era: the realisation of the intercontinental crossing (E-W) and inter-oceanic passages (N-S) via the Bering Strait in the 21st century. This is where the 53-mile wide strait, named for Danish explorer Vitus Bering (c.1681-1741), separates four continents across the Europe-Asia landmass and the Americas. In the early 21st century, there is a significant opportunity to re-evaluate the potential for East-West communications, trade and transport corridors (air, sea, land) via the Bering Strait corridor.
The role of the Bering Strait, too, in the balance of global climate is now of special fascination to scientists - and to maritime interests, who watch out for the emergence of the northern seas routes. In a world thirsty for new energy resources, the potential for US-Russian cooperation across the northern Pacific Rim remains vast, with profound implications for the global economy as the era of fossil fuels gives way to the dawn of the hydrogen age.
In this wider view, the real focus of "Bering Strait Project" is the nature of the global nexus between the Pacific Ocean-Arctic Ocean and the Americas-Eurasia across the Intercontinental Divide.
James A. Oliver is an international writer, editor and journalist based in the United Kingdom. He is the author of The Bering Strait Crossing: A 21st Century Frontier, which was released worldwide in 2006, with the narrative focus on geography, exploration, and international relations. As Editor of The Bering Strait Project, his intention is to provide contemporary background and archival papers for an executives and professional audience with an interest in Pacific Rim geography, global transport projects, energy resource development, and international relations in the post Cold War era.
