{"title":"Arctic exceptionalism: a narrative of cooperation and conflict from Gorbachev to Medvedev and Putin","authors":"Pavel Devyatkin","doi":"10.1080/2154896x.2023.2258658","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/2154896x.2023.2258658","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTArctic cooperation is increasingly being questioned in the wake of Russia’s 2022 military actions in Ukraine. Accordingly, many international scholars have declared the narrative of ‘Arctic exceptionalism’ dead or corrupted. Through an analysis of political rhetoric, this paper re-evaluates the construction of Arctic exceptionalism, popularly connected to Mikhail Gorbachev’s 1987 Murmansk speech calling for an Arctic ‘zone of peace’. It is argued that a full picture of this narrative is incomplete without consideration of the developments in Arctic cooperation and conflict in the context of Dmitry Medvedev’s modernisation and multilateralism initiatives as well as Vladimir Putin’s enduring commitment to a defensive and nationalistic foreign policy. Moreover, Medvedev and Putin diverged from Gorbachev’s Arctic exceptionalism due to disparate ideologies and views on militarisation, as well as the global context of interstate mistrust. These insights allow for a new understanding of the dilemma of cooperation and conflict in the Arctic, a microcosm of the Russia-West relationship.KEYWORDS: ArcticRussiainternational relationsforeign policycooperationsecurity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Koivurova and Shibata, ‘After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022’; Kornhuber et al., ‘The Disruption of Arctic Exceptionalism’.2 Smith, ‘Melting the Myth of Arctic Exceptionalism’; Melchiorre, “The Illusion of the Arctic‘Exceptionalism’”.3 Mikkola, Paukkunen and Toveri, ‘Russian Aggression and the European Arctic’.4 Finlayson, ‘From Beliefs to Arguments’.5 Osherenko and Young, The Age of the Arctic, 5–12.6 Gorbachev, ‘Speech in Murmansk’.7 Åtland, ‘Mikhail Gorbachev, the Murmansk initiative’.8 Purver, ‘Arctic Security’.9 Devyatkin, ‘Environmental Détente’.10 Sergunin and Konyshev, Russia in the Arctic, 41.11 Laruelle, Russia’s Arctic Strategies, 3–5; MFA Russia, ‘O Proyekte Osnov Gosudarstvennoy Politiki V Arktike’; “Shtyrov, ‘Ob osnovnykh napravleniyakh gosudarstvennoy politiki v otnoshenii severnykh territoriy’.12 Dodds and Rowe, ‘Red Arctic?’.13 Pabst, Medvedev’s ‘Third Way’”.14 Tsygankov, Russia’s foreign policy, xxix.15 Hahn, ‘Medvedev, Putin, and Perestroika 2.0’; Aron, ‘Putin’s Agenda and Medvedev’s Dilemma’.16 Sakwa, ‘Sad delusions’.17 Medvedev, ‘Kontseptsiya vneshney politiki’.18 Medvedev, ‘Poslaniye Federal’nomu Sobraniyu’; ‘Rossiya, vperod!’.19 Flenley, ‘The partnership for modernisation’.20 Dodds, ‘The Ilulissat Declaration’.21 Medvedev, ‘Ob Osnovakh gosudarstvennoy politiki’.22 Medvedev, ‘Zasedaniye Soveta Bezopasnosti’.23 Medvedev, ‘Nachalo zasedaniya Soveta Bezopasnosti’.24 Medvedev, ‘Dogovor s Norvegiyey o razgranichenii morskikh prostranstv’.; “V Kopengagene sostoyalis’ rossiysko datskiye peregovory”; ‘Rossiysko finlyandskiye peregovory’.25 Medvedev, ‘Privetstviye uchastnikam i gostyam Pervogo Murmanskogo mezhdunarodnogo ekonomicheskogo foruma’.26 Medvedev, ‘Privetstviye uchastnik","PeriodicalId":92151,"journal":{"name":"The polar journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cruises to the Arctic promise passengers pristine landscapes and authentic and engaging experiences interacting with local and Indigenous communities. Yet, these very environments and communities are under existential threat amidst the climate crisis, provoking the question of how to reconcile the ever-expanding Arctic cruise industry’s conflict with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). To answer this question, the article proposes a novel approach that fuses concepts and methodologies from normative global governance research and critical tourism studies. Based on extensive empirical research in Norway, Canada and Iceland, the article presents stakeholder-sourced solutions that address a variety of justice conundrums associated with the expanding cruise tourism sector in the region. On the basis of the approach developed in the article, our research is able to inform public and policy discourse towards a just and sustainable transition of the polar cruise tourism industry in light of UN SDGs by highlighting the importance of creating ‘syncretic encounters’ based on four dimensions: authentic storytelling, decompressing spatial and temporal resources, just working conditions, and attention towards the built environment.","PeriodicalId":92151,"journal":{"name":"The polar journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135063506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Energy solutions in the Arctic necessitate industrialisation and ground infrastructure, with many off-grid Arctic communities relying on diesel power due to limited accessibility and high transportation costs. Moreover, there is growing interest in renewable and low carbon energy, followed by the consideration of nuclear solutions as part of the transition to achieving net-zero emissions. Local perspectives are crucial in formulating sustainable energy policies tailored to specific needs. Canada, with its established nuclear supply chain and technical capabilities, provides a pertinent case study for incorporating Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as part of its energy transition. Within the context of transitions in Arctic communities, this paper’s primary focus is on mapping the portrayal of SMRs within Canada’s energy solutions. This investigation relies on publicly available sources to analyse how SMRs are depicted and integrated into Canada’s energy landscape. This paper analyzes publicly available discourse to examine various perspectives on SMRs, emphasising the most prominent viewpoints, including Indigenous perspectives. The results provide an exploration of the intricate difficulties and potential benefits associated with SMRs in the context of Canada's shift towards cleaner energy sources. Indigenous viewpoints add a wide range of perspectives, both endorsing and opposing SMRs, highlighting the complexity of SMRs employment and the need for future research on this emerging topic.","PeriodicalId":92151,"journal":{"name":"The polar journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It raises critical questions about the feasibility of regulating potential sea ice geoengineering initiatives while upholding Indigenous rights. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the paper investigates diverse perspectives on Arctic sea ice encompassing its roles in climate science, international law, and for Arctic Indigenous peoples, contributing to ongoing discussions on implementing Indigenous rights within Arctic governance and emerging climate technologies. As climate interventions are becoming a likely reality, the paper emphasises the imperative of integrating marine geoengineering responses to climate change into global ocean law and governance, with a specific focus on climate justice and the active involvement of Indigenous and local communities in the decision-making. Using analogies of resource exploitation, this paper also explores whether the conceptualisation of geo-engineered sea ice as a resource and looking at existing international legal frameworks governing resource extraction could enhance the effective implementation of Indigenous rights. The paper contends that there is an urgent need to develop an oceanic ethics component that considers Indigenous rights in the context of geoengineering, and advocates for nature-centric visions, Indigenous-led climate actions, and community-level marine resource management within international legal frameworks to strike a balance between the rights-based approach and emerging climate intervention technologies.","PeriodicalId":92151,"journal":{"name":"The polar journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
