The aim of the analysis is to obtain knowledge, based on which recommendations for government decision-making in the field of international relations and foreign policy are formulated. The RESEARCH REPORT contributes to active engagement of the Czech Republic in shaping the Arctic policies both at European and global level. At the same time, the report supports high-quality decision making on political, economic and international law Arctic issues, hence raising the importance of the Czech Republic and shaping a direction of further scientific research in the region. The RESEARCH REPORT defines the Arctic, analyzes the current status and the basic principles of the Arctic regime. Subsequently, the report examines policies of key actors – eight Arctic states (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Canada, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the USA), which operate in the Arctic region and are involved in its governance. In addition, the report includes analysis of other four relevant actors involved in Arctic policy shaping (Arctic Council, European Union, NATO and China). Following the introduction of the main activities of Czech Arctic research, the report presents key recommendations for the government of the Czech Republic how to increase active involvement in the development of the Arctic. |
