Vision or illusion: The Northern Sea Route versus Suez Canal Route
This thesis studies the future of the Northern Sea Route and whether the Arctic route might benefit the Nordic countries so that Norway or Finland could become a new hub for cargo traveling from Asia to Europe. Research questions answered in this thesis: Is the Northern Sea Route a possibility for c...
