Summary/Abstract: In recent decades, the Arctic has become an increasingly significant factor in global geopolitics and the economy, owing to its unique combination of abundant natural resources and strategic location. Covering some 14.5 million square kilometres, this northernmost region of the planet encompasses the Arctic Ocean as well as parts of the territories of the surrounding countries. Five states share borders within or along the Arctic Circle: Russia, Canada, the United States (via Alaska), Norway and Denmark (via Greenland). Russia has the largest share of Arctic territory—approximately 53 per cent of the total area—while Canada accounts for about 18 per cent, the United States 9 per cent, Norway 7 per cent, and Denmark 6 per cent.
