“…There is certainly cooperation in a number of policy areas, and the solving of minor territorial disputes. 17 Yet, there are also increasing tension and conflicts of interests. Scholars point to growing geopolitical power games, the expansion of national territorial and energy policies of several coastal states, rising conflicts of interests, and the planned development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) with inherent destabilization potential.…”

“…Some argue that the polar governance regimes have proven quite resilient. 29 Others, however, point to clear deficits, especially when it comes to security aspects. For example, UNCLOS has shown weaknesses in dealing with security questions that spill over into Arctic cooperation, such as the Ukraine Crisis; there was no mechanism for it.…”

Ongoing political, legal, environmental and economic changes open up the Arctic. This has implications for regional security. The article tackles the question whether the preeminent regional institution, the Arctic Council, should include security related topics in its portfolio to deal with the emerging challenges. The article argues that the regional security issues will be taken care of better in other institutions for at least two reasons: dealing with securityrelated topics might negatively impact the Arctic Council's institutional practice, while at the same time the Arctic Council might not provide the best institutional background needed to cope with the most pertinent issues on the security agenda.

Governmentality of the Arctic as an international region

Linked to the image of a wild and still-to-be-explored territory, as well as to images of the region as one of new economic opportunities, discourses on the Arctic also tie in with issues of climate change, cooperation and conflict, Arctic governance, international law and the situation and rights of indigenous people, as well as Great Power politics. Taken together, these aspects characterize a region whose formation is different from regionalization processes in other parts of the world. As the regional peculiarity of the Arctic is reflected by a variety and plurality of representations, discourses, perceptions and imaginaries, it can usefully be analyzed as a region of unfolding governmentality. The present article argues that the prospects for the Arctic are strongly intertwined with perceptions and depictions of it as an international region subject to emerging practices of governmentality. By drawing on both Foucault's texts and governmentality studies in international relations (IR), we discuss how the Arctic is affected by governmental security rationalities, by specific logics of political economy and order-building, as well as becoming a subject for biopolitical rationalizations and imaginaries. The discourses and practices of governmentality that permeate the Arctic contribute to its spatial, figurative and political reframing and are aimed at making it a governable region that can be addressed by, and accessible for, ordering rationalities and measures.
