Bodø is part of the Arctic. Arctic geopolitics is warming up. Military activity is increasing, and great power competition is more prevalent in the North.
Why should you care? Because whether you want to work in diplomacy, defence, academia or private sector, these developments will influence you.
Ignoring international developments, geopolitics and – crucially – the role of Norway the Arctic, is the pathway to irrelevancy. Join for a lecture on how Arctic geopolitics will influence YOU, and what you can do about it.
The lecturer Andreas Østhagen works as a Senior Researcher at Fridtjof Nansen Institute and writes:
«My work focuses on the political dynamics in the Arctic / High North region, with a particular emphasis on security and geopolitics. I work on describing the complexities of cooperation and conflict in the Arctic and the interests and actions of various engaged actors (Norway, EU, USA, China), as the region is changing both physically and politically. My research also draws on Arctic experiences and case studies to understand the concept of maritime boundaries (and related disputes) more broadly, looking at the who “owns” the ocean and the geopolitical dynamics that follow.»
