Sergunin, A.A., Konyshev, V.N. Re-militarization of the Arctic region and security of Russia.

Abstract: While the geopolitical status of the Arctic region grows, there’s a dangerous tendency of militarization in this region, as expressed in greater military presence of a number of states and the NATO there, modernization of armed forces, which are located there, active use of military marine fl eets in order to guarantee economical interests, formation of blocks and coalitions. While establishing its position towards the remilitarization of this region, the Russian Federation should provide for the well-balanced position. Formation of a special regional regime for the control over arms and development of trust measures could become important priorities of international cooperation in the Arctic region.


Keywords:
