Security Concerns in the Arctic
Organized by the Arctic and High North Project, University of Hull 17. October 2015
The panel will address a broad range of internationally relevant and pressing security concerns in the Arctic. This broadness of range is deliberate. By keeping the definition of "security" broad we hope to increase participation and include all those at the Article Circle who are interested all notions of "Arctic Security". By bringing these people together we hope to increase participation in Arctic dialogue and increase the international focus on current and future security concerns in the Arctic.
