“…As the Arctic states-Canada, Denmark (via Greenland), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the US-placed the North on their domestic and foreign policy agendas, and non-Arctic states like China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK expressed interest in the north, predictions foresaw the region as the next arena for "geopolitical" conflict (Borgerson, 2008;Dadwal, 2014;Grindheim, 2009;Sale and Potapov, 2010). However, a range of studies have pointed out that many Arctic predictions have proved inaccurate, whether made before or after the deterioration in relations with Russia and the drop in oil prices in 2014.…”

“…Few places have given rise to so much speculation, hype, and sweeping generalizations as the Arctic region at the start of the 21st century. Propelled onto the agenda by flag plantings and resource appraisals a decade ago, the Arctic continues to lure researchers and journalists to venture northwards to "the next great game" (Dadwal, 2014). However, ideas of the Arctic as an arena for political competition and rivalry are often juxtaposed with the view of the Arctic as a region of harmony and shared interests.…”

“…All the Arctic coastal states are currently investing in the extraction of the region's hydrocarbon riches 109 , albeit in different propor-tions 110 . As mentioned above, a geopolitical rush for Arctic resources is unlikely, and it has been argued that political conflict is more likely to occur inside Arctic petroleum states rather than among them; hydrocarbon development could in fact be a driver for regional cooperation, due to the mutual interest in the settlement of boundary disputes and in the development of regulatory regimes 111 .…”

Il presente lavoro si propone di offrire una visione completa delle principali questioni legate ai cambiamenti geopolitici nella regione Artica, insieme ad una panoramica della letteratura scientifica riguardante tali problematiche. Dopo un’analisi storica, la ricerca si focalizza sull’evoluzione della sicurezza artica, esaminando la presunta militarizzazione e l’impatto del cambiamento climatico. Successivamente, si esplorano le principali potenze coinvolte ed i loro interessi e strategie nella regione. Infine, ci si concentra sulle imprese economiche e sul multilateralismo nella zona, entrambi influenzati da eventi recenti e cambiamenti climatici.

The Arctic security region: misconceptions and contradictions

The security interests of Arctic states are increasingly described as intertwined. The Arctic is seen either as a region where great power rivalries or resource wars are likely, or as a part of the world defined by cooperative traits and shared security interests. These depictions often implicitly lean on notions of a security region and regionalism, albeit without utilizing such frameworks to unpack security interactions in the Arctic. An increasing number of Arctic-focused scholars refer to the Arctic as a region in terms of security interests, but is this really the case if we make use of the different ways a security region has been outlined as an analytical tool? Leaning on different levels of analysis, this article questions several assumptions underpinning recent work on military security in the Arctic, advancing our understanding of security dynamics in the north and adding to our knowledge of security regions as a concept within international studies. It is argued that descriptions of the Arctic as a new security region are based on mixing and equating two distinct features of the region: the changing climate and related increases in economic ventures; and Russia's military build-up and regional hegemony.
