ZONA ARCTICĂ, UNIUNEA EUROPEANĂ ȘI SCHIMBĂRILE CLIMATICE, CA AMENINȚARE GLOBALĂ LA ADRESA SECURITĂȚII

The Arctic region, on one hand, an area situated so far from the European Union and, on the other hand, an environment so hostile to life, is în the spotlight of the world’s powers. The resources, so necessary for the nations, ‒ the riches în the depths of the soil and în the ocean ‒, the potential of tourism and the importance of shorter transport routes aroused the interest of some actors în the region. The European Union has developed a policy for the Arctic region. Are the European Union՚s concerns strictly related to security and the economy or is there a much wider horizon of goals to be achieved?
