Regional Security Patterns in the Arctic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In recent years, the Arctic region has been attracting serious attention from scholars. The opening of the Arctic Ocean brings new opportunities and challenges, many of which are depicted and presented as a security threat for Arctic society. The regional security in the Arctic is built around interdependence mainly on political, military, economic and environmental issues. The region exhibits clearly defined and interconnected relations of cooperation and confrontation with an evidence of strategic potential shared with all of the regional actors. The Arctic can be defined as an independent geopolitical region with specific conditions and shared history. The Arctic is a significant security region with the longest direct border between NATO and Russia. Thus, its geopolitical importance is fundamental for all Arctic states and is likely to increase in the future. Although the level of military tension in the region is higher at the t ime of writing, it is still much lower than it used to be, and lower still than in other parts of the world. In this paper the author will focus on the regional security patterns in the Arctic. Following the introduction, the author looks at the importance of regional security and its role in the future of the Arctic. The paper describes how regional security is created and what the criteria are for the classification of the Arctic as an individual regional security complex. Later, the author briefly elaborates on the so-called ’Russian factor’ and on Russia as a key player in the cooperative and peaceful development of the Arctic. Finally, the paper presents several thoughts on how the Arctic might look in the future, based on proposed scenarios.
