Description
Summary:International audience The Arctic region has recently become a subject of dispute between several neighboring countries, including the most important from the perspective of their area , such as Canada and Russia. The differences on the delimitation of borders in the Arctic Ocean are supplied by economic issues related to potential hydrocarbon reserves and other geopolitical issues. In this context, the Russian government is developing a variety of discursive strategies to build different images directed to the outside western recipient and also to the Russian public . The different forms of russian political discourse are studied in the present article attempting to highlight the links between discourses and practices of Russian power in the field of Russian-Canadian relations on borders in the Arctic . La région de l'Arctique est devenue depuis peu un objet de différends entre plusieurs pays limitrophes, y compris les plus importants du point de vue de leur superficie, comme le Canada et la Russie. Les divergences portant sur la délimitation des frontières dans l'Océan glacial arctique sont alimentées par des enjeux économiques liés aux réserves potentielles d'hydrocarbures et par d'autres enjeux de caractère géopolitique. Dans ce contexte, le pouvoir russe développe divers types de stratégies discursives visant à construire différentes images de Soi face au destinataire occidental extérieur et en visant également le public russe. La diversités du discours du pouvoir constitue ainsi l'objet de l'article qui tente de mettre en lumière les liens entre discours et pratiques du pouvoir russe dans le domaine des relations russo-canadiennes concernant les frontières dans l' Arctique.
