Mrs. Elizabete Aunina participated in this research project in the capacity of Research Assistant.
This study analyses the official narratives and related political values of ten key Arctic actors, including the eight members of the Arctic Council, China, and NATO. This report focuses on China, rather than any other Asian powers, mainly to ensure consistency with the research published in 2018, and because the initial report coincided with the publication of China’s first Arctic Strategy. We have now entered a particularly formative phase of China’s engagement in the region, which has strategic implications for NATO and the eight Arctic states.
