Arctic security relations are becoming increasingly tense. In the time since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, deterrence has largely taken over from dialogue and cooperation in the High North. The Arctic is seeing increased military activity and cases of sabotage and provocation. At the same time, the debate about the geopolitical dynamics in the region is sometimes characterized by simple claims and misconceptions.

With increased tension and rapidly changing security dynamics, there is an urgent need for a research-oriented and nuanced exchange of perceptions about which mechanisms contribute to driving and mitigating conflict in the Arctic.
