In this five-episode season, we'll focus on the Arctic: a region of increasing strategic geopolitical competition, with enormous potential in terms of resources, shipping routes, and profound environmental changes.

In this first episode, we talk with Serafima Andreeva, a researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway's leading research institute on Arctic international affairs.

Her work and research interests are primarily in governance and Arctic geopolitical dynamics, with a focus on analyzing geopolitical tensions.

In this episode, we'll discuss misconceptions about the Arctic and the realities shaping its future.

For this episode, we have as a co-host Andrey Todorov, a researcher and professor at the Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea and an expert in Arctic topics.
