Course/Module description:
The simulation will put each student into the role of an EU member state participating in a working group within the CSDP structures, discussing the role of the EU in the security of the Arctic, the problem of duplication with NATO etc.
Course/Module aims:
The course will explore the possibilities but also the realistic constraints that the involvement of the EU in Arctic security falls under. It will highlight the possible areas of activity where the Union might add value vis-à-vis a Russia and others that are securitizing and militarizing the Arctic.

- describe in which forms and fora the EU is involved in the Arctic
- point out the possible shortfalls to a limited arctic policy by the EU in light of strategic goals set out in the EUSS
