Russia made big international waves last week with a successful Arctic expedition that combined scientific and geopolitical goals.
Besidest the Arctic Studies Center at the dartmouth College, it was the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the University of Arctic that organized this brai-storming seminar with about 30 participants from academia, government (mostly US and Canada, but also Greenland), business and NGO.
Russia's policy in the Arctic looks quite logical and consistent in the eyes of its own policy-makers, but perhaps less so in the opinioin of the Northern neighbours.
