| Title | The European Union's Science Diplomacy in the Arctic |
| Summary | The Arctic region has recently re-emerged as a focal point of international interest due to environmental, economic, and security concerns. The European Union (EU) views the Arctic as critical to European security, and seeks to monitor and influence its multifaceted changes despite lacking direct influence. This paper explores the various aspects of science diplomacy and the regime complexity of the Arctic governance, which the EU manoeuvres, and the EU’s agenda in the region. By examining funding Arctic research and fostering scientific collaborations, it hypothesis that the EU aims to establish a presence and lay the groundwork for political representation. The EU’s approach signifies a shift from viewing science as “soft” power for international cooperation to a “hard” power to advance EU-specific interests. |
