We study the nexus between global heating, security and Arctic geopolitics from the perspective of various theories of International Relations and related fields. We analyse complex political, economic and legal relations within and connected to the Arctic and pay particular attention to the role of great powers (especially China) in making and shaping regional orders.
Moreover, we seek to develop fresh posthuman alternatives to traditional state-centric and anthropocentric approaches to Arctic politics and governance and highlight their academic and societal relevance beyond the Arctic context as well.
