After a historical analysis, the research focuses on the evolution of Arctic security, examining alleged militarization and the impact of climate change. Next, the major powers involved and their interests and strategies in the region are explored. Finally, we focus on economic enterprises and multilateralism in the area, both of which are affected by recent events and climate change.

Particular attention is paid to the second post-war period, during which the Finnish country, following a reversal of its traditional policy towards the East, experienced so-called Finlandisation. Outlining the singular characteristics of the relationship between the two countries during the twentieth century allows us to better appreciate the new change of course that the Finnish leadership has recently made towards Moscow: In fact, in the face of an improvement in its relative position vis-à-vis its cumbersome neighbour, and following its entry into the European Union, Helsinki now seems to have abandoned the policy of conciliation that - shared by representatives of the entire parliamentary arc, and remaining a fundamental assumption of Finnish foreign policy strategies for over forty years - was now becoming part of the Finnish national identity itself.
