Interview with professor D Suba Chandran India has a well-developed Antarctic program, and the country is a relatively new actor in the Arctic. It received an Observer status in the Arctic Council in 2013, published its official Arctic Policy in 2022. India’s interest to the Polar region is growing. Does India have enough ...
... international community. One of the developments that Russia is pushing for today is to build roads in Siberia to the Arctic. India also wants to play a role in the economic development and discuss ideas. We want to be part of Russia’s route in the Arctic. Once it opens, which the climate is ensuring, the Northern Sea Route will be open for a larger part of the year. India is very keen on that, but it does not want to claim land. Unlike Antarctic, which is part of the global commons, every country with a physical presence in the Arctic will be the first ...
... Moscow in attracting investments from East Asian countries, even though the size of such investments is small. Scientific and technological cooperation. The Northeast Passage. The Specifics of the Canadian Approach Andrey Todorov: Where does the Northern Sea Route Lead To? Canada is a country with a clearly defined Arctic identity. The Arctic has always been more a part of Canada’s domestic policy than its foreign policy, although this attitude is changing gradually. Even though the term in office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s liberal government is about ...
... correspond to the current situation in the region. The Russian EEZ area getting clear of ice may result in other countries viewing the existing powers of Russia to control navigation on the NSR as less and less legitimate. A decrease in the ice cover in the Arctic may also lead to the fact that traditional routes of the Northern Sea Route, which now pass through the internal sea waters, the territorial sea, and the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation, will become more high-latitude. If this happens, the Northern Sea Route will run entirely through the offshore ...
... For instance, in February 2019, the Russian media drew major attention to the words of U.S. Adm. James Foggo, commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa, who said that “the United States would not allow Russia and China to dominate the Arctic and control the Northern Sea Route”. Russia responded by announcing rules for the passage of foreign warships in the NSR. Even though this media hullaballoo mostly produces populist and rather ignorant statements, there are, sadly, sufficient grounds to seriously ...
... use ships without ice strengthening. Of course, international transit shipments along the Northern Sea Route are not developing as fast as had been hoped, but certain progress has been made in this area. To prevent and relieve emergencies along the Northern Sea Route and in the Arctic as a whole, the Ministry for Civil Defence, Emergencies, and Disaster Relief of the Russian Federation formed a unit that entails building 11 comprehensive Arctic rescue and emergency centres. [i] Currently, five centres are in operation in the ...
On October 11, 2018, RIAC held a discussion focusing on integrated management of marine spaces in the Arctic Ocean beyond national jurisdictions. The meeting started with the presentation of a draft report on this issue moderated by Andrey Zagorsky, RIAC Member, Director of IMEMO RAS Department of Disarmament and Conflict Resolution, following the discussions ...
... particular, the U.S. Admiral said that “Canada, like Russia, views the Northwest Passage as their internal waters. We interpret that as, no, this is an international strait and it is open for transit passage, which is our same interpretation of the Northern Sea Route.” It should be noted that for Washington, Russia’s claims to controlling navigation on the NSR route and Russia’s entire Arctic policy are in many ways identical to what is happening in the South and East China seas , where Beijing lays claims to expanding its sovereignty and jurisdiction and its rights to control the various types of marine economic activities of other ...
Policy Brief #9, 2016 Both the Arctic states and other members of the global community are becoming increasingly interested in the Arctic. The issues of developing the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and the legal regulation of navigation in its waters are pending both for the Russian interests and in the international context, especially since the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code) comes into ...
... Even the most optimistic projections for the Northern Sea Route are in the tens of millions of tons. Furthermore, even if Arctic sea ice continues to decline, most Arctic shipping will be confined to summer and early fall for many years to come. Trans-Arctic shipping via the Northern Sea Route is attractive for some, but not all, vessels en route from Asia to Europe. Another type of shipping vessel also uses the Northern Sea Route: those going to and from mines, oil and gas fields, coastal communities, and other locations ...
