Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag analysiert die Bedeutung der Energieressourcen für Kanadas Arktispolitik. Er beruht auf einer Kritik derjenigen wissenschaftlichen Analysen, die die geopolitische Bedeutung der Arktis durch den Ressourcenreichtum begründet sehen. Am Beispiel Kanadas wird gezeigt, wie ungenau diese Verallgemeinerung ist. Dabei werden sowohl innen- wie auch außenpolitische Aspekte beleuchtet und die Verlinkung der beiden politischen Räume in dem Politikfeld Arktispolitik herausgestellt.
Abstract
This paper analyses the significance of energy resources in Canada’s Arctic policy. Critically engaging with current geopolitical arguments in international politics literature that highlight the centrality of energy resources in explaining the reemergence of the Arctic as a political space it will use Canada as a case study to show that such a generalization is not helpful in understanding individual state behavior in the Arctic. It will focus on both domestic and foreign aspects of Arctic policy and highlight the linkages between the two.
