The Present Situation and Direction of the U.S.-Russia Arctic Resource Development Game

Abstract

In the current period, Global warming is becoming more serious and Arctic glaciers are melting at a relatively rapid pace. This has led to an increase in its resource, navigational and scientific value. In the Arctic geopolitical relations, the U.S.-Russia relationship is undoubtedly one of the key bilateral relations. The Arctic region is rich in resources, and both countries are working together to develop these resources, while they have fought over border demarcation and shipping lanes. In the future, the U.S. and Russia will continue and even intensify their confrontation in the Arctic region, but both sides are expected to continue to strengthen their cooperation in low-level areas.
