I think far too often we look at Arctic security through a single lens. We examine, for instance, the proliferation of Russian military bases and missile infrastructure in Siberia and we extrapolate that to mean a threat to the North American Arctic. We have to look at Arctic regions somewhat in isolation. The security and defence threat to the North American Arctic is so very different from, for instance, the Scandinavian Arctic.
We will produce much better policy if we have a much clearer eye as to what those threats are, where they are present and where they're not.
