Arctic Security, Narratives.

Current Research

My current doctoral project focuses on analyzing the role of narrative and identity in Arctic security dynamics. For that, I analyze how different actors (indigenous communities, small states, and great powers) present security issues in the Arctic, under which circumstances, and with what consequences.
