| Summary/Abstract |
From the late 1970s and until the end of the Cold War, the 'High North' constituted a central theatre for military forces. Extensive NATO preparations were made, a solid infrastructure developed in northern Norway, and frequent and large-scale exercises were carried out. These developments, from the late 1970s, were much discussed by scholars and strategists. However, the change of perception, laying the foundation for the military build-up, had actually occurred a decade earlier, in the late 1960s. This change has not yet been given its rightful attention, partly because the relevant documents have only recently become available. This essay takes the chronology of events back into the 1960s and to NATO's secret discussions between the national Ministers of Defence and Chiefs of Staff. The most significant turning-points were the Flexible Response strategy of 1967; SACLANT's concern over increased Soviet naval activity and his 'Maritime Strategy' studies of 1965 and 1967; NATO's awakening to the Soviet SSBN threat in 1967; and the concept of 'External Reinforcement of the Flanks' of 1968 - finally followed by the 'Brosio Study' (named after the then NATO Secretary-General) of 1969. As a consequence of these developments NATO's 'tactical northern flank' was set to become an independent strategic theatre.

| Summary/Abstract |
The petroleum industry has greatly increased its activities in the Arctic, and nations are eager to award new licences for further hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation. The European High North has become a sought-after region in this regard, and recent discoveries in the Hoop High fields and other areas along the edge of the maritime zone around the Svalbard archipelago have again created debate about the underlying judicial and political challenges that may spark international conflict. Gjert Lage Dyndal discusses the disputed status of the area and argues that the petroleum industry may prove central to a compromise solution.
