Abstract:

In recent years, as the effects of global warming have become more apparent, the Arctic has begun to come into prominence not only on climatic issues but also on political issues. With the melting of glacial masses, access to the area was facilitated; the rich natural resource potential and the possibility of using new trade routes have transformed the region into a global geography. In the Arctic, which has strategic importance on the global scale, a stable international political order has prevailed since the Cold War. It is important to understand the nature of the international political order that dominates the region in order to maintain this stability in the coming years, where the possibility of conflicts of interest is expected to increase. In this paper, firstly, it is questioned whether there is a stable order as defined in the International Relations discipline; and then the international order in the region is discussed in the context of three different theoretical approaches.
