Short and long-term solutions for mitigating black carbon emissions in Arctic shipping
The problem of black carbon emissions from maritime shipping is one of the major environmental issues in the Arctic region with important global ramifications for climate change, public health and related socio-economic questions. This topic has been discussed mostly from the point of view of technical measures, and to some extent operational measures regarding how vessel traffic is run. However, recently the institutional-political solutions hav…
The politics of knowledge in black carbon mitigation
Mitigation of black carbon (BC) is a potent short-term measure for climate and environmental policy due to the short lifetime of BC particles in the atmosphere. Fewer BC emissions would decelerate warming especially in the Arctic and bring significant co-benefits particularly in populous countries owing to BC’s negative public health, food security and socio-economic effects. However, scientific knowledge on BC remains uncertain regarding the mea…
How to Achieve a More Resource‐Efficient and Climate‐Neutral Energy System by 2030? Views of Nordic Stakeholders
The Nordic countries pursue ambitious energy transition goals through national energy policies and in the framework of Nordic cooperation. We propose that the transition is realistic only if it involves the public, private, and nongovernmental organization sectors as regulators, innovators, and advocates of relevant policies and solutions representing the multitude of interests involved. We examine these interests through Q methodological experim…
From path dependence to policy mixes for Nordic electric mobility
We examine the problem of how to accelerate policies related to electric vehicles (EVs) in the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. These four Nordic countries represent an interesting collection of cases by virtue of having common decarbonization targets extending to the transport sector, interlinked electric energy systems and a joint electricity market largely based on low-carbon energy while they are open societies bent on in…
Russian nuclear energy diplomacy in Finland and Hungary
We compare Russian nuclear energy diplomacy toward Finland and Hungary, where the Russian state corporation Rosatom intends to build nuclear power plants by the 2020s. Russian nuclear energy diplomacy features Rosatom working with other state institutions, its own subsidiaries, and an extensive network of companies and R&D actors to support Russian nuclear power projects abroad. Using the structuration approach, we find three interests driving su…
The coordination of policy priorities among regional institutions from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic
We examine the coordination of policy priorities among the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the Council of Baltic Sea States, and the Nordic Council of Ministers. The member states of these groups established these institutions to coordinate their regional cooperation. However, the member states ended up having to coordinate the parallel work of these institutions. This coordination effort influenced their cooperation, creating an…
Modernisation of the Russian Energy Sector
This essay examines the modernisation of the Russian energy sector as revealed in the case of Arctic offshore oil. The Russian actors involved have various interests but their simultaneous realisation is impeded by the structural constraints within the policy environment of Arctic offshore oil projects. Russia’s foreign policy choices vis-à-vis Ukraine, leading to sanctions targeting Arctic oil projects, and global oil market developments amplify…
The new International Energy Charter
The International Energy Charter, signed by 64 states in May 2015, is analysed here against the structure of the existing formal institutions of international energy governance as outlined in the literature. In terms of actors, the Charter has a Europe/Eurasia centred nucleus of signatory states accompanied by the United States, China and some further ‘regional ambassador countries’ in Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, references to non-st…

Russia's energy relations in Europe and the Far East
E uropean Energy Security
This article explores energy security and integration within the E uropean U nion (EU) in the case of natural gas. It theorizes the underlying institutional dynamics of integration by drawing upon the E nglish School as to how more deep‐seated informal institutions condition policy‐making by EU institutions and Member States as well as the operations of transnational actors such as energy companies. The informal institution of sovereignty constra…

Russia's Quest for International Society and the Prospects for Regional-Level International Societies
This article enters the recent debate on the decline in the features of international society within the current system by looking at the case of Russia; a case that has, to date, received little attention. Russia is considered one of the great powers. It is also characterised by a long-standing quest for membership in international society. In addition, Russia merits closer attention as a result of its strategic partnership with the EU. The EU o…
The Critical Geopolitics of Northern Europe
Revisiting the Security/Identity Puzzle in Russo-Estonian Relations
This article engages the persisting and commonplace claim that post-Soviet politics is imbued with the prevalence of very close linkages between security and identity. Such a claim is often made in analyses of Russo-Baltic relations, where especially the inter-ethnic policies of the ethnic Estonians and Latvians have been found to be in a triadic conflict with the interests of their Russophone minorities and the declared policy preferences of the…
Spatial Practices and Time in Estonia
The article examines spatial practices and time in post-Soviet Estonia as a particularly illuminating example of the issues involved in post-Soviet geopolitics and the geopolitics of European governance. The article makes use of recent critical geopolitics literature. It enquires into Estonia's early-mid 1990s post-Soviet geopolitics that led to the emergence of the Estonian- Russian land border dispute, the Estonian-Latvian maritime border dispu…
A European Geopolitical Subject in the Making? EU, Russia and the Kaliningrad Question
This article engages the recent studies that have treated the European Union (EU) in geopolitical terms, as an empire engaged with enlargement. The article introduces the meta-concept of geopolitical subjectivity. This meta-concept enables us to situate such imperial interpretations of the EU into a theoretically informed, comparative setting. The meta-concept is defined as goal-oriented ordering of territories and political spaces, extending fro…
Beyond Restoration
In this article I explore the role of identity politics in the construction of post-Soviet geopolitics in Estonia. I argue that, in the early 1990s, `restorationist geopolitics' was the dominant conception. It was about invoking a dichotomous differentiation of Estonian identity from Estonia's Russophone population, and a spatial differentiation from Russia in rather exclusionist terms strongly coloured by security concerns as well as justified b…
