"Based on a geographical-administrative definition of the region, a theoretical basis in French structuralist geopolitics, cross-sectional data for 2000, 2005, and 2010 from national and international statistical databases, and technical capabilities of cluster analysis, this study aims at detecting zones of consensus and zones of conflict within the Arctic geopolitical space and evaluating the overall stability of a given configuration in the context of climate change. First, in order to discover geopolitical groups (%22zones of consensus%22) and intergroup buffer areas (%22zones of conflict%22) Arctic provinces are differentiated according to sixteen attributes reflecting their physical, economic, demographic, and military performance, and their integration environment throughout the first ten years of the new millennium. The stability of each grouping is evaluated. Second, conflict potential is calculated for each Arctic state according to three interrelated parameters, attitude towards conflict (military vs. peaceful), regime type (authoritarianism vs. democracy) and trade status (openness vs. autarky). Finally, based on a neoliberal argument of democratic peace, intergroup buffer areas are graded in terms of the probability of conflict occurrence."@en .
