The increased accessibility of the Arctic and the new opportunities and challenges this change brings about have raised a number of questions that need to be addressed. One of such questions is the issue of regionalism and globalisation in respect to the Arctic. By applying New Regionalism theory to examine the Arctic as a region, and Realism and Neoliberalism to assess Arctic regional security, this article attempts to analyse whether the Arctic is still a cluster of smaller regions or if it has become a part of a globalised world.
