From International Governance to Region Building in the Arctic?

Abstract

The aim of this article is to assess whether circumpolar governance structures have been strengthened so substantially within the last few years that one may rightfully speak of a new level of international cooperation in the High North. Building on a framework of regional integration, the analysis focuses on two recent international agreements: one pertaining to the resolution of a maritime dispute in the Barents Sea; the other to coordination of search and rescue activities under the auspices of the Arctic Council. The article seeks to answer how these agreements are interconnected; why they have strengthened the existing international legal regimes for circumpolar governance; and finally considers whether the two cases represent a shift from intergovernmental cooperation toward regional integration if one considers these opposite ends of a continuum of circumpolar cooperation.
