Arctic Seminar: Yue Wang

International Cooperation with China in the Global Arctic: Intentions and consequences

On this Arctic Seminar, the Arctic Centre at Umeå University invites Yue Wang, University Teacher and Doctoral Researcher at the Tampere University, Finland. He will present his PhD Project "International Cooperation with China in the Global Arctic: Intentions and consequences".

The project aims to systematically understand the unintended consequences of international cooperation through the lens of international cooperation with China in the Global Arctic, where substantial international cooperation is essential for protection and development. These research questions guide this project:

1. What, if any, are the unintended consequences of Arctic international cooperation for Chinese and Arctic actors?
2. How do various actors perceive the unintended consequences of Arctic international cooperation with China?
3. Why do unintended consequences of Arctic international cooperation with China emerge?
