Abstrakty

The enduring global warming has opened new views on the exploitation of the Arctic. The opportunity to open new shipping routes, huge resource reserves, and fishery are of interest to many entities; however, experts' opinions still differ. Although cooperation between nations has been peaceful, the military presence in the area is increasing and it remains to be seen how the recent Ukrainian crisis will affect development in the area. As for now, no major conflicts in this area are likely and cooperation is supported by international treaties (e.g. UNCLOS) and organisations (e.g. theArctic Council). Thereareseveral international disputes and also perils related to the Russian Federation, being the major player there. Russia builds multidimensional capabilities, including military and economic ones, to support national interests. The Western sanctions are negatively influencing exploration of natural resources making Moscow nervous and the country must be treated very seriously to avoid creating new "Cold war" type icy relations and confrontation.
