A Czech Arctic Strategy? No Longer a Crazy Idea
Original language description
The presented policy brief by Mary Thompson-Jones is part of a project supported by the U.S. Embassy in Prague through its Small Grants Program. Being far from the Arctic is no longer an excuse for ignoring it. With self-described “near-Arctic” nations ranging from the Asian powers of China and India to European counties such as Switzerland, Italy, and Spain all announcing their Arctic policies, the Czech Republic also should consider formulating and articulating an Arctic strategy. The Arctic is rapidly becoming a contested area. Wishing that the Arctic might remain aloof from great power competition will not make it so. Foundational principles for a Czech Arctic policy should be grounded in realism, and include platforms on economic and industrial development, multi-lateral cooperation, scientific research, the human and environmental dimension, and countering Russian – and to some extent Chinese – aggression. Approaching the Arctic as a pristine wilderness to be protected at all costs is to ignore what is already underway. The Czech Republic should expand its involvement to a multi-dimensional approach including government, industry, and military.
