OTTAWA—Canada has become the least effective of all circumpolar countries to respond to the challenges of the Arctic, has neglected to establish a presence in the North, and will be forced to defend the region from a "position of grave weakness" if political leaders don't right now face the urgent political, environmental, and economic realities in the Arctic, says one of the authors of Arctic Front: Defending Canada in the Far North, whose book is the winner of this year's $35,000 Donner Prize for the best public policy book.
