Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) for an online talk with Roman Sidortsov, Anthony W. Strawa, Rebecca Pincus and Saleem H. Ali on issues regarding the Arctic.

With sea lanes opening in the Arctic, a new race for resources has created opportunities for both cooperation and competition among Arctic nations and great powers alike. With Russia assuming the rotating chair of the Arctic Council this year, how will this impact Arctic diplomacy? What role will climate change play in these negotiations? How will U.S. competition with Russia impact agreements over Arctic waterways and resources? To answer these questions and yours, FPRI has assembled a panel of experts on Arctic Policy. Joining host Saleem Ali for the next installment of the First State Series will be former NASA Scientist Anthony Strawa, Russian Energy Policy Expert Roman Sidorstov and the U.S. Naval War College’s Rebecca Pincus.
