At the 2010s the Arctic is a peaceful and (geo)politically stable region: it is not overtly plagued by conflicts. There is no ‘wild’ race on resources due to state sovereignty and the rules by UN’s Convention on the Law of the Sea, as well as the strong commitment to cooperation by the Arctic states. The globalized world is with uncertainty and ‘uncommon instability’ due to several recent, much unorthodox, things and a new world order.
