    Master Thesis
    Arktik'te güç dinamikleri: Büyük güçlerin rekabetinin dönüşü?
    (2022) Kjono, Espen; Çetin, Elif
    Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Arctic has been a region of cooperation between the Arctic countries. However, the region is now seeing the effects of climate change and the icecaps in the Arctic Ocean are melting more and more every year. This has created an opportunity to get access to a brand-new territory and to its resources. Due to this opportunity, the interest in the Arctic has increased. This thesis will offer an in-depth analysis of how Russia`s and the United States` domestic and foreign policies in the Arctic have changed. Most of the existing research regarding the Arctic focus on either military-security or energy politics in the Arctic. This thesis aims to fill the gap within existing Arctic studies when it comes to combining several different dimensions. This thesis will be focusing on four different dimensions of U.S. and Russian foreign and domestic policies in the Arctic. These are: Military/strategic priorities; energy security; trade routes; and the level of importance of international law, in this case the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). keywords: The United States, Russia, Arctic, domestic policy, foreign policy
