Summary: | Russia and Canada have many common stakes in the resolution of problems linked to the management of the Northwest and Northeast Passages. They also share a common interest in the management of Arctic territories, including in the imminent sharing of the Arctic seabed. Russia and Canada are recognized as the dominant geographical actors in the Arctic. Three quarters of the Arctic seashore belong to these two countries, which also cover the largest continental territories in the world. Comparing Russia and Canada therefore constitutes a key theme for both present and future research, including for questions of international relations and security policies in the 21st century. Le Canada et la Russie ont beaucoup de préoccupations communes dans la résolution des problèmes de la gestion des passages du Nord-Ouest et du Nord-Est. Ces intérêts communs concernent également la gestion des territoires arctiques y compris la question de la répartition imminente du fonds de l’Océan Arctique. On sait que la Russie et le Canada occupent une situation géographique dominante dans l’Arctique. Les trois quarts du littoral de l’Océan Arctique appartiennent à ces deux pays qui ont la plus grande dimension territoriale dans le monde. Ce thème est extrêmement intéressant parce qu’il ouvre des perspectives à des recherches immédiates mais aussi à des recherches futures incluant les questions du développement de la politique internationale et de la politique de la sécurité au XXIème siècle. |
