Description

Despite recent advances to strengthen regional deterrence cooperation, questions remain on the evolving role and posture of naval forces in the Arctic region, and what further steps can be taken. At the NASI 2022 seminar in Copenhagen, the Heads of Navy of the Arctic-Seven nations and Arctic stakeholders such as France and the United Kingdom asked the NASI 2023 cohort to provide an independent assessment of naval force posture, the trans-Arctic dimensions of national security policies in the context of a more contested “Blue Arctic” and critical dilemmas that regional senior defense and naval leaders could face at the strategic and operational levels. In particular, the NASI 2023 cohort was asked to focus on key challenges and opportunities for further developing bilateral and multilateral cooperation among naval forces to strengthen Integrated Naval Deterrence in the Arctic region.
