Domestic preoccupations and international aspirations: A view from Russia’s Arctic
Channel: Norsk utenrikspolitisk institutt NUPI
Date: 11/09/2020

Russia’s Arctic is vast and, in contrast to other Arctic coastal states, the high latitudes are an integral part of the Russian national economy. Russia’s Arctic approaches are also shaped by increasingly complex and changing center–regional relations. 

This panel explores questions such as: What are key challenges for Russia in the ‘domestic’ Arctic and how is the international circumpolar stage viewed in Moscow? What can we expect from Russia in the coming years in the Barents Region and as incoming chair of the Arctic Council?

With Julie Wilhelmsen (NUPI, chair), Aleksander Sergunin (St. Petersburg State University) and Helge Blakkisrud (NUPI).

This is Panel 2 on NUPI's Russia Conference 2020. Read more about the conference here: https://www.nupi.no/nupi_eng/Campaign...
