Northern sea route

Koper, Ján, 1964- Northern sea route : geopolitical importance / Ján Koper, Branislav Kováčik, Rudolf Kucharčík. -- The Northern Sea Route is geopolitically one of the most important regional projects in the world. The reasons are obvious – its geographical location, the consequences of climate change, natural resources, and its distance to great powers boundaries. All those elements point out the economic importance of the Northern Sea Route area. It is not area of interests only for great powers directly connected to the zone – such as Russia or the United States – but also for actors looking for new economic and political challenges – for instance, China, the second most visible player in the area. There is no doubt that the Northern Sea Route area will be a region of major disputes in the very near future. Of course, this topic can be discussed only in the broader context of the geopolitical importance of the whole Arctic region.
