dc.description.abstractAs the global temperature continues to rise, the melting Arctic is triggering significant geopolitical changes across the region. The research investigates the intricate connection between Arctic hydrocarbon development and military expansions, focusing on the roles of Russia, the US, and Norway. It argues that the economic potential of Arctic hydrocarbons motivates states to enhance their military presence, thereby intensifying geopolitical tensions and transforming global energy dynamics and strategic partnerships. It finds that while Russia leans on militarization as a protection mechanism for its resources, the US and Norway securitize their regions in response to Russia's armament rather than to protect their energy resources. In this regard, the paper identifies mutual reinforcement between hydrocarbon and military developments, projecting a cyclical intensification of geopolitical tension in the Arctic. The study delivers a comprehensive understanding of the security dynamics involved in Arctic developments, providing insights for policymakers, academics, and experts navigating these intersecting fields.en
