“…All these strategic and planning documents of the country, especially the Arctic policy documents of 2020 and 2035 have provided a legal and ethical basis for the long-term security planning and development in the Russian Arctic Zone. Many security experts and researchers have examined the Russian strategic documents on Arctic policy and have identified changes and future impacts (Bartenstein & Lalonde, 2019; Gjedssø & Gallucci, 2016; Hoffecker, 2010; Lukin, 2016). However, it is the adoption of the Basic Principles-2035, as well as the transformation of government structures (formation of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, State Commission on the Arctic Development), that has led to the restructuring of the country’s Arctic policy.…”

The Arctic region witnessed a lot of geopolitical activism and contestation during 2008 to 2020. These activities have had direct impact on the Arctic Policy of the Russian Federation. The present article analyses the changes in the Russian Arctic policy, including security policy and their evolution and development during this period of changed economic, political and strategic environment. To identify and appreciate the changes in the policy, a comparative analysis of the Russian strategic planning documents towards Arctic has been carried out. It reveals a transformation of approach that ensures economic development and security of critical energy facilities situated in the region. The study also analyses the achievement of the goals set by the ‘Basic Principles of Russian Federation State Policy in the Arctic to 2020’ adopted in 2008 and describes the conditions for achieving the strategic goals in the Russian Arctic zone.

“…China's strategic and technological frontiers slightly differ from the four global commons generally identified by international law: the high seas, the atmosphere, Antarctica and outer space (Buck, 1998). These spaces are also often considered to be the ‘common heritage of mankind’ (Nicholson, 2002)—a term which Chinese scholars readily adopt, as it fits neatly with the discourses of ‘commonality’ that Chinese officials apply to the Arctic (Bartenstein, 2015). China's Arctic Policy asserts that the region's development can benefit ‘a community with shared future for mankind’.…”

Remote control? Chinese satellite infrastructure in and above the Arctic global commons

China is expanding its Arctic presence by developing infrastructure in the global commons that intersect with the region. Operations in outer space, the deep sea and cyberspace minimise the need for terrestrial footholds and generate data, a virtual resource. To analyse the epistemic and geopolitical consequences of developing the Arctic global commons as a vertically and digitally integrated volume, we examine a critical form of Chinese ‘remote infrastructure’: optical, synthetic aperture radar, and navigation satellites. We argue that first, by generating data about the Arctic, these instruments turn China into a regional knowledge producer. Second, as remote observations outnumber field observations, Chinese polar science may shift the regional balance of knowledge towards spaceborne and marine observations. Third, China's emergence as an Arctic knowledge producer may motivate the state to contribute to regional governance as remote sensing and large‐scale, computationally intensive techniques become privileged decision‐making tools. To transcend the terrestrial and maritime fixes that predominate research on China and the Arctic, we call for greater attention to the influence of epistemic capacities on geopolitics.
