A new configuration of Russian strategic interests in the Arctic region

V.M.Kolunin

Journal "Region: Economics and Sociology", 2001, vol. 2, 21-28

Abstract: The paper considers special consequences the world economic globalization has in the Arctic region where the bloc of northern countries forms a center of advanced and rich post-industrial economies surrounded by a wide periphery including Russia. The creation and development in the XXIst century of an Arctic transport system is an unprecedented global-planetary project. It will create a new arena of collision between geo-strategic interests of circumpolar nations. The point is claims to the shelf and North Pole of the planet made by Russia, Norway, the USA, Canada and Denmark. Russian geo-strategic interests in the Arctic region have to be actively defended. This necessitates development of a new Russian Arctic doctrine.
