The Global Arctic: Security & Cooperation

The Arctic Circle Podcast

In this episode, we engage in an insightful conversation between two distinguished members of the Arctic Circle Mission Council on the GlobalArctics:

• Heather Exner-Pirot: Managing Editor of the Arctic Yearbook and Senior Fellow & Director of Energy, Natural Resources, and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Canada.
• Lassi Heininen: Professor Emeritus and Visiting Researcher at the Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland.

Heather and Lassi discuss the evolving dynamics of Arctic cooperation amidst shifting regional and global geopolitical tensions. Their exchange focuses on the role of international functional cooperation as a means to enhance security in the Arctic. The conversation also opens up to audience questions.

This event originally aired as the inaugural Arctic Circle Webcast Session in April 2022.

The Arctic Circle Mission Council on the GlobalArctic, which was formally launched at the 2019 Arctic Circle China Forum in Shanghai, aims to interpret the globalized Arctic, encourage research and uphold dialogue on these various developments. Its members have in their professional capacities spearheaded the discussion on the GlobalArctic and will continue through the Mission Council to encourage dialogue and explore the concept and implications of the GlobalArctic.

Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic. It is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, Indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others interested in the development of the Arctic and its consequences for the future of the globe.
