About The Position

The course subject will vary from year to year. The chosen theme for Fall 2026 is 'Arctic Politics and Security.' This course aims to reflect on the evolution of governance and the security landscape of the Arctic region. In terms of governance, the national policies of Arctic states, the evolution of the Arctic Council, the self-determination of Indigenous peoples, and the application of international law are some elements that help us better understand the past, present, and future politics of the region, sparking debate and questions. The assessment of security threats and the consequences of global conflicts in the Arctic will also be on the agenda of this course, which will focus on Arctic military exercises, NATO's role in the region, Russia's Arctic remilitarization, and China's presence in the North. The course will also pay particular attention to Canada's Arctic policy, both in terms of governance and security, highlighting the dilemmas faced by Canadian decision-makers and Northern residents.
