The Scramble for the Arctic?
A Discourse Analysis of Norway and the EU's Strategies Towards the European Arctic
This report examines the discourses on engagement in the European Arctic, in Norway and in the EU. It investigates how the two actors have portrayed and discussed the European Arctic. Taking a social constructivist approach, the author posits that regions are what we make them to be, and that discourse analysis can indicate the area of action for the region. The author pays special attention to climate change, environmental issues and energy, as these issues play a prominent role in the Arctic.
