In November last year, a conference was held at Massey College, University of Toronto, on the subject of Arctic security, starting with the question of ‘How can we engage Russia in the shared pursuit of pan-Arctic security, stability, and cooperation, while still holding it to account for its egregious violation of international law in invading Ukraine?‘
Specialists from Canada and around the Arctic region spoke about how the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has affected security concerns, including development, Indigenous affairs, militarisation, the recent expansion of NATO, the potential for far northern cooperation between Russia and China, and the future status of the Arctic Council. Marc Lanteigne, Chief Editor of OtC, was amongst the speakers.
The report from the conference has been published, and can be read online.
