My only point here is that they are highly unlikely to grow to the levels of dominance implied / expected

The Security Project calls for the Defense Department to be much more involved in the region to match the militaries of other Arctic nations, and questions
whether current policy frameworks, such as an Arctic strategy released by the Coast Guard this year, will be enough to prepare for potential oil spills, accidents and shipping traffic challenges.
Despite these fundamental limits,
current policy frameworks imply that they are essentially our only options for a clean energy future — a very dangerous notion indeed.
Moreover even accepting the current framework, I find
the current policy framework hard to comprehend.
Module 4 provides an overview of the complex world of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs; examines some of the key policy approaches of governments since 1972; and explores how the numerous changes have, over time, led to
current policy frameworks and administrative arrangements.
