Current and emerging developments in the polar regions entail an increased conflict- potential as well as an increased cooperation-potential. On this backdrop the author discusses the possibilities for international cooperation on conflict-preventive measures in the polar regions. A key assumption in this context is that international cooperation as such - independently of the object of cooperation - should be ascribed a positive conflict-preventive function. The discussion, however, is here limited to a few sub ject-areas where international cooperation in the polar regions is of particular interest; notably in scientific research/exploration, economic exploitation, regulatory measures of a practical/operative nature, and regulation of sovereignty- and jurisdiction-status. More particularly, the paper gives a comparative discussion of the Svalbard (Spits bergen) and Antarctic treaties as models for the regulation of so-called 'new terri tories' (a term which encompasses, inter alia, most of the polar regions).
