Barry Scott Zellen is an author with expertise in climate security, Arctic geopolitics, tribal governance, IR theory, strategic theory, and philosophy of war. He resided in the Arctic region from 1988 - 2000, where he worked in the field of indigenous language preservation and media development, managing several indigenous language media organizations sponsored by the Northern Native Broadcast Access Program (NNBAP). 

During his time in the Far North, Zellen served as General Manager of Northern Native Broadcasting Yukon (NNBY); Executive Director of the Native Communications Society of the NWT (NCS-NWT); and Managing Editor of the Inuvialuit newspaper, Tusaayaksat, published by the Inuvialuit Communications Society (ICS). In this capacity, he created, fundraised, and executive produced various indigenous language news, magazine and documentary TV programs and on-air/radio indigenous language lessons; developed a multi-lingual radio format (known as 75/25) that ensured a minimum three-quarters of all on-air content was broadcast in indigenous languages; and introduced a new, bilingual Aboriginal language newspaper format for the Inuvialuktun language. In 2004, Zellen started the Arctic Security Project at NPS, which examines the geostrategic implications of the polar thaw and internal and external security challenges of an open polar sea. In 2011, the Arctic Security Project expanded its focus to consider the global geostrategic consequences of climate change, becoming the Project on Climate and Conflict.

Zellen is the author of Breaking the Ice: From Land Claims to Tribal Sovereignty in the Arctic (Lexington Books 2008), the first book that emerged from the Arctic Security Project; and its sequel, On Thin Ice: The Inuit, the State and the Challenge of Arctic Sovereignty (Lexington Books 2009), which continues his discussion of Arctic sovereignty and the interplay of state and sub-state dynamics along the Arctic coast, with a foreword by Arctic security expert Rob Huebert and an afterword by Arctic journalist Ed Struzik. Zellen is also author of Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic (Praeger, Security and the Environment, 2009) which examines the theoretical and strategic implications of a "post-Arctic world" as climate change transforms world geopolitics, with forewords by NPS professor Dan Moran and former Alaska Governor Wally Hickel.

Zellen is also author of several books in the fields of IR theory and strategic studies, including his four-volume treatise on constructive realism: The Realist Tradition in International Relations: Foundations of Western Order (Praeger, Security and the Environment Series, 2011), which examines the endurance of realism as a bridge linking political theory, international relations theory, and strategis theory across the agea. Zellen is also author of State of Doom: Bernard Brodie, the Bomb and the Birth of the Bipolar World (Continuum Books, 2011). Forthcoming in 2012 is Zellen's The Art of War in an Asymmetric Word: Strategy for the Post-Cold War Era.

Zellen was educated at Harvard, where he earned his B.A. in Government (1984) magna cum laude, and U.C. Berkeley, where he earned his M.A. in Political Science (1985). He received various research grants and fellowships including a MacArthur International Security Fellowship (1985-86), an Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation Fellowship (1986-87), and a Canadian Institute for International Peace and Security Northern Security Research Grant (1991-92). He has taught at Arctic College, the Center for Northern Studies, and Wesleyan University.

Reviews of My Books:

Breaking the Ice: From Land Claims to Tribal Sovereignty in the Arctic (Lexington, 2008)

• Professor Barry M. Gough, Wilfrid Laurier University, Choice Reviews Online, February 2009. Recommended for: graduate students, faculty, professionals: “This history of the Alaskan and Canadian arctic breaks new ground with its contemporary narration and analysis of the past three decades of political developments and with its rich findings based on documentary and Web research. Not a work in comparative history, this is more of a parallel treatment of government actions in regard to the norths of the two countries and the responses of the indigenous peoples ... to develop Native self-sufficiency and to solve the persistent problems of land claims by various First Nations, including Inuit, Inuvialuit, and Gwich'in. This large account will guide future researchers and government agents.”

Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic (PSI, 2009)

• Svein Vigeland Rottem, “Review of Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic,” Polar Record, December 2010: “Timely and intriguing. ... Zellen aims high and touches upon a wide range of highly interesting approaches on how to grasp and analyse the challenges and opportunities in the region. One could argue that this leads to a lack of analytical depth, but at the same time this wide scope offers its audience easy access, insight and plenty of food for thought into a wide range of pressing topics within the area of post cold war international relations. The book is a central contribution to the debate on the future of the Arctic.”
• Ken Atkinson, “Review of Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic,” British Journal of Canadian Studies, Volume 23, Number 2 (November 2010), 324: “The strength of the book lies in its treatment of the surge of activities by the circumpolar states in the 2000s in response to the predicted decline in sea-ice coverage. ... On these issues the book is commendably up-todate, and we are provided with over 50 pages of endnotes and bibliography (including many websites) for further reference.”
• Justin Klugh, "Book Review Wednesday: Books for the Cold at Heart," The Green Life (Sierra Club), September 22, 2010: "The authors challenge some specific perspectives; most notably, yours. Should you be one of the many who don't live in Alaska, the frozen north is just that, and not much else. But for those who reside there, it's their neighborhood, their livelihood, and their home. A scientific look at just where global warming is going to leave us adds a foreboding sense of introspection for more than just those standing on the doorstep of climate change."
• Kelley crawford, Security and Defense Studies Review, Spring-Summer 2010: "Zellen deserves credit for providing another perspective on the Arctic’s situation where most of the literature is only concerned with the negative impacts of climate change."
• Professor Stephanie Irlbacher-Fox, University of Toronto, Journal of the ARCTIC, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2010: "Zellen has written a book that will make us think, and for that, his contribution should be lauded and welcomed as a source of important discussion among students and scholars of northern studies and northern policy makers alike."
• Roger G. Barry, Distinguished Professor of Geography, Scientist, National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado, Journal of Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, February 2010: "a timely and topical book… useful to residents of the north and scientists who work there, policy makers, and businesses with Arctic activities."
• SciTech Book News (December 2009).
• Foreign Policy Association Editor's Pick (October 2009).

On Thin Ice: The Inuit, the State, and the Challenge of Arctic Sovereignty (Lexington, 2009)

• Ted L. McDorman, "From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief," Ocean Development & International Law 42, No. 3 (August 2011), 280-287: "This is a book about the politics, both domestic and regional, of the awakening of global interest in the Arctic ... a useful book for context."
