<p>The Arctic. </p><p>For all of recorded human history, it’s been nothing more than a vast, frozen desert, left untouched by all except a handful of intrepid explorers, a few hardy indigenous communities… and, well, polar bears. </p><p>But in the ever-warming 21st century, this frosty expanse might just become the next major battleground where world powers clash for strategic and material dominance. </p><p>The melting of the ice is opening up a massive new frontier, so in this episode, we're going to conduct a bit of Arctic exploration of our own. </p><p>First, we’ll take a look at all the High North has to offer and see exactly why the region is quickly becoming a top priority for many of the world’s governments. </p><p>Then we’ll see who the major players are and where they’re positioning themselves on this icy chessboard. </p><p>And finally, we’ll examine whether we could have a really Cold war on our hands in the coming years. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@worldbeyondthewest">Watch on YouTube</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>The United States and Europe are home to some of the world's most prosperous economies, high living standards and liberal democracies, and allocate billions in aid every year to developing countries. </p><p>So why does the rest of the world have such disdain for the West?
