The Battle for the Arctic

Ambassador Nikolay Korchunov & Prof. Glenn Diesen

Ambassador Nikolay Korchunov outlines Russia's ambitions for the Arctic: the Northern Sea Route transportation corridors, the energy projects, the conflict with the seven other Arctic states that are all NATO countries, and Russia's decision to develop the Arctic with China, India and other countries in the East as part of a wider strategic / geoeconomic shift to Asia.
