Climate Change and the Great Power Rivalry in the Arctic
The world politics of the 2020s seems to consist of two realities: People are concerned about an ecological catastrophe, as pollution kills millions and climate change threatens societies. The focus of this article is to discuss climate change, and state politics in the Arctic in the context of the two realities. Behind this is the assumption that climate change mitigation is a challenge to state politics and national security. The commentary ass…

The GlobalArctic Handbook
The “Global Arctic” as a New Geopolitical Context and Method
The term "GlobalArctic" was officially launched at the 2014 Arctic Circle Assembly (see: www.globalarctic.org). The idea for this term was not conceived in a vacuum; rather it was the outcome of a critical analysis on the state of Arctic geopolitics and security in the era of globalization with complex and deeply interdependent ecological, economic, environmental, cultural, political, and societal processes. It is important to note that global im…
The Arctic, Baltic, and North-Atlantic ‘cooperative regions’ in ‘Wider Northern Europe’: Similarities and differences
This article provides a broader perspective on the ‘wider’ Northern European regions – i.e. the Baltic Sea, North Atlantic, and (European) Arctic – and attempts to disclose both similarities and differences of regional cooperation. The article argues that the changing environmental state of the Arctic might influence the other two international cooperative regions of the Northern Hemisphere in regard to climate – and thus the ecology – as well as…
Future Security of the Global Arctic: State Policy, Economic Security and Climate
In the globalized Arctic there has been a transformation from military security to human security. Climate change, the utilization of Arctic resources and other global challenges have caused the Arcti
Security and Sovereignty in the North Atlantic
The North Atlantic continues to be an area of international strategic and geopolitical significance, both regionally and globally. This is largely due to the growing importance of the entire North in the global economy and world politics. Since the Cold War period, there has been a significant shift in its security architecture, from geo-strategy and military security to comprehensive 'soft' security and international cooperation. Furthermore, th…
Human security, the Arctic Council and climate change: Competition or co-existence
We argue that the current understanding of the Arctic as a region fraught by increasing tension and competition under conditions of climate change is an incomplete story. It ignores many salient developments in furthering co-operation and human security agendas, and marginalises some of the more complex and interesting developments within the region. Such changes in ‘natural states’ do not, in and of themselves, create geopolitical and political …
Networking the North: Cross Border Connections and the New International Circumpolar Geopolitics
A new emphasis on human rights, civil society, and regime building, combined with heightened degrees of connectivity, have had a tremendous impact upon the nature and degree of transnationalism within the North. While the development of the United Nations Law of the Sea, a renewed human and indigenous rights agenda, and broadly defined environmental protection regimes have more generally worked to reinforce international if not regional boundarie…
The Importance of Northern Dimension Foreign Policies in the Geopolitics of the Circumpolar North
The end of the Cold War dramatically altered geopolitical relationships within the circumpolar North. Part of this change involved the development of a regionalised governance structure stressing the common issues faced by human populations within the circumpolar North, regardless of their national or ethnic origins. Signatories to a cadre of new circumpolar agreements include eight nation-states or the “Arctic states” (Canada, USA, Russia, Finla…
Impacts of Globalization, and the Circumpolar North in World Politics
One of the main themes of current international relations and geopolitics of the Circumpolar North is the relationship between the Arctic and the outside world. This relation has been shaped by the heightened strategic importance of the region, utilization of (and competition over) strategic natural resources, and impacts of global change and globalization upon the region. This paper investigates the character of this relationship over time and a…
