This lecture by Dr. Lassi Heininen explores the post-Cold War Arctic, focusing on the triggers for change, Gorbatchev's vision, and the ensuing geo-political changes that led to the establishment of the Arctic Council. It delves into the characteristics of post-Cold War Arctic geopolitics, highlighting the increasing circumpolar cooperation and the unique vision of the Arctic as a model of peace. The lecture also raises questions about the sustainability of this Arctic exceptionalism in the face of the rising influence of China and Asia in the region.
