Abstract

The comprehensive transformation occurring in the Arctic has strengthened and broadened concerns regarding the state of regional security and its impact on the international system. While arctic security in the post-Cold War period has been perceived and examined according to both traditional (hard security) and critical perspectives, this chapter explores a different approach, namely the concept of sustainable security. Such an approach complies with the multidimensional, multilevel and multilateral specificity of the arctic security environment, which is heavily influenced by both the geopolitical and climatic features of the region. The concept is then reconsidered as a potential analytical tool for examining today’s arctic security, and the crucial role of cooperation between militaries in pursuing this sustainable security in the Arctic is discussed.

Footnotes

There are five broad categories of transnational threats that may challenge human security, national governance and interests, and international stability. These include: transnational crime, transnational terrorism, international migration flows, disease and international pandemics, and global environmental degradation and climate change (Smith 2000). Transnational threats can also be described as events or phenomena whose scope goes beyond borders, and whose dynamics are significantly (but not necessarily exclusively) driven by non-state actors, activities (e.g., global economic activates or trends), or forces (e.g., environmental pollution, climate change (Cockayne and Mikulaschek 2008).
