Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article analyzes military capabilities, strategic documents, and approaches of the United States and Russia as competitors in the Arctic. After analyzing both powers’ strategies and military capabilities in the Arctic, the assessment is that a direct conflict is not likely in the mid-term, as it could have implications for both countries and for the rest of the world. Consequently, this perception could deter confrontation in the Arctic and, conversely, even could push Washington and Moscow to continue collaboration in areas such as maritime regulation, the environment, and the utilization of natural resources based on communication between them and by doing so avoid accidental conflict situations. This may not only prevent potential conflicts, but could mitigate misunderstandings or misinterpretations that may arise in the event of any accidental collision. |
