The states in the region have been acting actively and asserting their goals for several decades. The ongoing climatic changes represent the fundamental factor coaffecting the increase of the states interest in the region.It is believed that climate changes could open new territories for economic activities and new transport routs. Generally speaking, the driving force of todays activities in Arctic region is supposed to be the economic interests, i.e. the states efforts to gain control of and exploit certain tangible goods (fish, oil, gas, minerals) or the control of new transport routes. However it does not mean that the conflict over Arctic region is inevitable. There are some factors such as the geographical and climatic circumstances, the level of development and accessibility of necessary technologies, and last but not least, also the financial demandingness of the projects struggling for the exploitation of the Arctic that might rather support the cooperation of states in exploiting Arctic.
