From the North Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific via the arctic: roles for Canada, France, Portugal, and Vietnam in an evolving maritime and commercial order

Abstract

The Artic is increasingly a centre of strategic competition. The interplay among Canada, France, Portugal, and Vietnam is fundamental to understanding the evolving maritime order across the Arctic, North Atlantic, and Indo-Pacific. States will need to invest in strengthening partnerships to advance Arctic dialogue, and counterbalance rising Russian and Chinese influence across the region.
