Abstract
ABSTRACT The Arctic Council (AC) was created with multiple competing agendas. Russia played a crucial role in its founding and has been an indispensable member since then. I consider the evolution of Russian participation in order to investigate the juncture of regime type, regional international organization, and environmental protection. How has Russia contributed to climate change policies through the AC’s Sustainable Development Working Group (SDWG)? I argue that issues connected to environmental protection and regional cooperation can be used by democratic and non-democratic states in order to leverage influence beyond the region itself and to advance broad geostrategic concerns.
