| Summary |
The Arctic region's claim to importance rests not only on geo-strategic military factors (though also that), but increasingly also on its potential in terms of extraction of natural resources and increased international trade. Processes that are further complicated by on-going sovereignty disputes over both Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) and Extended Continental Shelves as well as over the judicial status of the Northeast and the Northwest Passages. As the region gains in importance, questions arise about how the different arctic actors will pursue their interests in the Arctic. Will cooperation and friendly competition be the order of the day, or will disagreements lead to conflict? This question has gained increasing relevance as the Ukraine crisis spilled over into the Arctic in 2014 with the launching of Western sanctions against Russian oil and gas extraction from the Arctic seabed. This article seeks to address this question by assessing the conflicting and congenial stakes and interests of the most important Arctic states across two types of issues: Direct security issues, often determined by out-of-region dynamics, and more Arctic-specific issues connected with the sovereignty disputes and the possible rush for Arctic resources |
