Geopolitics and Geostrategy of the GIUK Gap: Rising Stakes in a Strategic Sea Corridor

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study explores the geopolitical and geostrategic significance of the GIUK (Greenland, Iceland,United Kingdom) Gap, a region of the North Atlantic Ocean between those respective islands, part ofthe broader Arctic realm known as the High North. It begins with a short overview of the historicaldevelopment of the GIUK Gap&apos;s geopolitical and geostrategic significance, followed by an analysis ofthe region&apos;s current geopolitical and geostrategic dynamics. For the analysis, Walt&apos;s balance of threatwas employed as a neorealistic theoretical framework, with four specific variables chosen. This theoryassumes that states try to balance potential threats. The study highlights the growing importance ofthe GIUK Gap for both NATO and the Russian Federation, whose interests have increasingly clashed inrecent years. The paper argues that the deteriorating relations between NATO and Russia followingthe annexation of Crimea in 2014 have causally contributed to the growing importance of the GIUKGap.
