“…Recognizing the strategic importance of the Arctic for its national security and economic interests, the U.S. has heightened its focus on the region. In reaction to China's initiatives, the U.S. has been bolstering its Arctic presence, both militarily and diplomatically, which includes reinforcing its alliances with other Arctic nations and advocating for a rules-based order in the area (Li et al, 2023).…”

This article offers an in-depth exploration of China's Arctic aspirations, with a specific focus on the development of the Polar Silk Road (PSR), and the ensuing implications for the dynamics of global power. The Arctic region, once considered remote and inaccessible, is undergoing a transformation largely driven by climate change. This transformation is unveiling new opportunities for navigation and resource extraction, thereby attracting the attention of various nations, including China. Despite its geographical distance from the Arctic, China has been vocal about its Arctic aspirations, most notably through its proposed PSR initiative. The article scrutinizes the development of the PSR, a component of China's broader Belt and Road Initiative, and its potential to bolster China's economic prowess by unveiling new trade routes and granting it access to valuable resources. It also discusses the potential implications of China's Arctic ambitions for the balance of power among major powers such as the United States, Russia, and the European Union. Drawing on theories from political science and international relations, including realism, liberalism, and constructivism, the article provides a theoretical lens to understand these dynamics. It underscores the need for careful management of Arctic affairs to ensure that competition does not escalate into conflict. The article concludes by highlighting the need for further research to fully grasp the implications of China's Arctic policy and to explore potential responses by other major powers.

“…The ANP method has been widely used to enhance the measurability of SWOT factors and strengthen the quantitative foundation for strategic planning [37][38][39]. Combining SWOT analysis with an ANP model has proven effective in facilitating decision-making processes [4,37,39,40].…”

Strategies to Manage Ecotourism Sustainably: Insights from a SWOT-ANP Analysis and IUCN Guidelines

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Protected areas are prime areas for ecotourism development, attracting large numbers of visitors to an abundance of ecologically significant and often sensitive flora and fauna. The current study identified adverse impacts of ecotourism in four prominent tourist hotspots in Iran, namely Lar National Park, Jajrud Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources, Tangeh Vashi National Natural Monument, and Kavdeh Wildlife Refuge. Impacts were compared against the IUCN guidelines according to the degree of ecological sensitivity and multiple managerial objectives. In addition, an analytic network process (ANP) was applied within a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis to identify optimal strategies for reducing threats and weaknesses and improving opportunities and strengths for sustainable ecotourism management. We found the greatest negative impacts of ecotourism in a Jajrud that was exposed to rapidly expanding urbanisation and the corresponding development of economic and physical activities. Conversely, the least negative impact occurred in a national park (Lar) that was managed based on conservation approaches, accounting for high ecological sensitivities, and adapting legal prohibitions. The SWOT-ANP analysis demonstrates that certain strategies can minimise impacts and should be adopted as conservation tools by protected area managers and land planners.

The construction of China’s Xiongan New Area aims to create a smart city characterized by green, low-carbon, intelligent information, livability, business-friendliness, and harmony between humans and nature, with energy Internet services as a crucial foundation. Using macro-environmental (PEST), situational (SWOT) analyses and ANP analysis, this research explores the sustainability of Xiongan’s energy Internet system. The findings reveal that economic factors are particularly significant, with “abundance and easy extraction of resources” being the primary strength (12.25%). The most pronounced weakness is “insufficient integration of the Internet with energy”, a social factor (52.60%). Opportunities are mainly economic, with “strong financial support” as the primary driver (46.58%). Technological barriers, such as “monopolistic practices hindering progress”, are the chief threat (38.73%). This comprehensive analysis forms the basis for proposing targeted sustainable development strategies for Xiongan’s energy Internet system, offering valuable insights for similar initiatives elsewhere.
