| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article discusses problems of developing the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in connection with realizing China's Belt and Road initiative. It also reviews recent studies devoted to assessing the prospects of the NSR and the possibilities of interlocking it with this initiative. Since realizing the NSR's potential demands not only solving problems associated with jurisdiction, management, economic competitiveness, and environmental protection, but seeking effective mechanisms of coordinating the strategic interests of the major powers in the region as well, the author believes interlocking the NSR with the Belt and Road initiative is becoming ever more realistic. |
