Will the Arctic Cooperation System Accommodate Global Geopolitical Changes?

The article analyzes the dynamics of international cooperation in the Arctic in the context of the post-2014 Ukraine crisis, as well as the reasons for the failure of “Arctic exceptionalism.” The authors consider the factors underlying the Arctic policies of the West, East, and South. The West’s attempts to replace Russia with non-Arctic countries of the East and the South have failed, as those countries have no reason to join Arctic cooperation institutions if Russia is expelled from them.
