In this episode of Asia Pacific Conversations, Elizabeth Wishnick, Adjunct Senior Research Scholar, Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University, sits down with APF Canada’s Vice-President Research & Strategy, Vina Nadjibulla, to discuss Arctic geopolitics and security.
Wishnick examines the growing strategic importance and dramatic geopolitical shifts in the Arctic, including challenges and opportunities in Canada’s far north. She explores how the region is shifting from co-operation to competition, driven by Russia's war in Ukraine, NATO's shifting alliances, and China's rising influence over shipping lanes. They also unpack emerging challenges to maritime security, the regional security implications of China’s growing co-operation with Russia, climate change concerns, and how great power rivalry is signalling a shift towards strategic posturing in a region that has been traditionally underutilized.
