Russia’s policy of presence in Svalbard
Due to the provisions of the Svalbard Treaty, Russia has kept a presence on this Norwegian archipelago – primarily based on coal mining – and has regularly made it clear that ensuring the continuation of this presence is a political goal. Since the late 2000s, Russia has attempted to revitalise its presence, stressing the need for economic efficiency and diversification away from coal. This includes tourism, fish processing and research activitie…
Norway’s research policy for Svalbard: Intentions and perceptions
Scholars of critical geography and geopolitics have long noted the intersection between research and strategic interest in the polar areas. This article focuses on how this link is displayed in the case of Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago under Norwegian sovereignty. While Norway' research policy in Svalbard has traditionally been welcoming and supportive of international research activity with little interference in the organization of research, …
More or Less Ice? Shipping in the Russian Arctic and the Role of Climate Change
Melting sea ice has often been presented as a primary driver for development of Arctic shipping, but what role has it played for policies to develop the Northern Sea Route? It may look paradoxical that Russia has embarked on an ambitious icebreaker construction program, given climate change. In Russia, there have been contradictory assessments of further climate developments in the Arctic. Representatives of the nuclear icebreaker fleet have argu…
Sino–Russian Cooperation in Arctic Maritime Development: Expectations and Contradictions
Russia accords high priority to developing its Northern Sea Route while acknowledging substantial investment needs. China has shown increasing interest in Arctic shipping and has finance and technology. Infrastructure cooperation has been highlighted in the context of the warming relationship between the two countries. Russian scholars express considerable concern regarding China’s long-term goals in the Arctic and reluctance to allow China’s inf…
Ten Years of International Shipping on the Northern Sea Route: Trends and Challenges
Analysis of detailed statistics shows remarkable fluctuations in the volume and composition of voyages on the Northern Sea Route (NSR) along the northern coast of Russia since international use began in 2010. There has been strong growth in destination shipping between the Arctic and ports outside the region, but transit shipping between the Pacific and the Atlantic has not experienced the growth many had anticipated. Explanations are found in in…
Russlands Nördlicher Seeweg: Nationale Exporttrasse statt internationaler Handelsroute. Shipping Russian hydrocarbons in the Arctic Ocean
Russia has been trying to create a regular shipping route in the Arctic Ocean for over a hundred years, in the hope that this will help open up the far north. During the Soviet era, the focus was on domestic shipping, until the project was abandoned due to the vast expense involved. It then was restarted in the mid-2000s, with the aim of expanding the Northern Sea Route to create a workable international trade route. However, maritime traffic has…
Svalbard og havområdene – nye utenrikspolitiske utfordringer for Norge
Selv om Svalbard er en del av Norge, byr øygruppen på spesielle utenrikspolitiske utfordringer. Nedbyggingen av den norske kulldriften kom brått på og har store konsekvenser for Svalbard-samfunnet og forutsetningene for norsk politikk på øygruppen, og kanskje også utenrikspolitiske implikasjoner. Russlands grunnleggende interesser på Svalbard er stabile, men det konkrete grunnlaget for det russiske nærværet endrer seg. Det skaper gnisninger i for…
Asian Countries and Arctic Shipping: Policies, Interests and Footprints on Governance
Most studies of Asian state involvement in Arctic affairs assume that shorter sea-lanes to Europe are a major driver of interest, so this article begins by examining the prominence of shipping concerns in Arctic policy statements made by major Asian states. Using a bottom-up approach, we consider the advantages of Arctic sea routes over the Suez and Panama alternatives in light of the political, bureaucratic and economic conditions surrounding sh…
Unitization of Petroleum Fields in the Barents Sea: Towards a Common Understanding
The expected discovery of petroleum fields that cross the new boundary between Russia and Norway in the Barents Sea could mean that both parties will lay claim to the same subsoil resources. The Treaty on Maritime Delimitation in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean (Barents Treaty) prescribes that such fields should be developed as one unit, governed by a unitization agreement between the two governments and a joint operating agreement between l…
Organization and Management Challenges of Russia's Icebreaker Fleet
The and now Russia have employed a fleet of large icebreakers to gain access across the Russian maritime Arctic and facilitate traffic through the Northern Sea Route (). Since 2008, Atomflot has played a very influential role, not only in the management and operation of Russia's icebreakers, but in laying premises for the as a whole. The current Administration within the Ministry of Transport does not appear to have roles in policy formation, ice…

Space and timing: Why was the Barents Sea delimitation dispute resolved in 2010
explanation of the timing of the 2010 agreement resolving the marine delimitation dispute between Norway and Russia in the Barents Sea must be sought mainly on the Russian side. Russia’s willingness to compromise on the spatial disagreement between the two countries at this specific juncture was not, as sometimes assumed, driven by a thirst for the energy resources in the formerly disputed area, but instead by broader Russian foreign policy consi…
Russian and Norwegian petroleum strategies in the Barents Sea
Norway and Russia are both moving petroleum activities into the Barents Sea. The Norwegian activities have been characterized by an industry eager to participate, but ready to withdraw in adverse commercial conditions, and authorities supporting enterprise, whilst imposing strong restrictions. Russia still does not have a coherent policy for offshore development. The prioritization of state goals is unresolved, and the division of functions betwe…
Oil Exploration in Russia: Prospects for Reforming a Crucial Sector
Two seasoned observers of the Russian oil industry analyze the country's policy response to developments in its mineral resources base (often perceived as an exploration crisis), with a focus on oil. The authors review and discuss trends in exploration (including its organization and efficiency), recent developments in its financing, and the reorganization of exploration activity. The evolution of Russia's licensing system is presented, drawing a…

Russia's Oil Industry: Risk Aversion in a Risk-Prone Environment
A Russian economist and a Norwegian political scientist, both long-term observers of the Russian energy industries, discuss the outlook for the Russian oil industry. The focus is on the relationship between reserves and industry strategies, and is presented from the perspective of an oil-producing enterprise. The authors analyze trends in reserve exploration and development and compare them with oil-industry investment patterns. They discuss diff…
Bp in Azerbaijan: A test case of the potential and limits of the csr agenda
Azerbaijan displays some of the features of the phenomenon known as the ‘resource curse’: high revenues from extractive industries coupled with high levels of corruption, a weak system of tax collection, lack of development of other sectors of the economy apart from oil, and increasing social inequality. As the leading foreign investor in Azerbaijan and a company with a salient image on corporate social responsibility (csr), the question is what …

West Siberian oil and the Northern Sea route: Current situation and future potential 1
A survey paper explores interrelationships between the development of oil and gas condensate deposits in northern areas of West Siberia and adjacent Krasnoyarsk Kray and the volume and character of traffic along the Northern Sea Route. Initial sections examine the magnitude of petroleum resources in the region, the allocation of development rights, and past and potential future production. Coverage then focuses on the problems involved in transpo…
