A very interesting podcast on Polar geopolitics and the state of the Polar regions.
Details of the podcast from the website.
SCRAMBLE FOR THE NORTH POLENot only since 2007, when a submersible planted the Russian flag at the North Pole, the question of who owns the North Pole are a widespread topic discussed in several media outlets around the globe. With a large portion of its claim scientifically sound and confirmed by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, a new scramble for the North Pole has set in.
But where does this interest come from and what are the implications of it, particularly with the Russian war on Ukraine and the resulting political isolation of Russia on the world stage?
How will the Arctic Council as intergovernmental forum for circumpolar cooperation develop in the future and how will the claims of different Arctic states effect the work in the Arctic Council?
We discuss these and other questions together with Eric Paglia and our guest, Professor Klaus Dodds.
