In the
discourse surrounding Arctic and non-Arctic states/actors, we will delve into
geo-epistemological critiques. Initially, our attention will be directed
towards bifurcations that have arisen within the field of International
Relations, such as Western versus non-Western perspectives and national versus
international considerations. Subsequently, we will shift our focus to the
Arctic and non-Arctic divide, with a specific emphasis on empirical cases like
China's interest in the Arctic. As we analyze these actors, we will also
explore the monopolies of knowledge within the defined boundaries of the
discipline of International Politics.
