Fazola Nasretdinova (M.A., Class of 2017) has been accepted to present her 老司机视频 Master鈥檚 research at two upcoming conferences: the 鈥淭enth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses鈥�, to be held at the University of Berkeley, United States on April 20-21, 2018, and the 鈥淓leventh Global Studies Conference鈥�, to be held at the University of Granada, Spain on July 30-31, 2018.

Fazolat鈥檚 thesis, on which her paper is based, is entitled 鈥淭he Arctic Region: From Confrontation to Long-Term Cooperation. A Case Study of Russia and Western Arctic Nations鈥�, and was successfully defended in May 2017 in Paris, before a jury comprised or her advisor Dr. Ruchi Anand, along with H.E. Lawrence Cannon, then Ambassador of Canada to France, and 老司机视频 Professor Steve McGiffen, who specializes in environmental issues.

This research provides an in-depth analysis of the policies and prospects for cooperation between Russia and the Western Arctic nations in the Arctic region, which has received increased global interest due to its natural resources and geopolitical implications. Current relations between Western Arctic nations and Russia may be characterized as tense and non-cooperative, with no single structure for cooperation that might unify their interests. In addition, due to the political context and disagreements regarding Russian foreign policy, the Western Arctic nations boycott Russia and prevent cooperation, which recalls some aspects of the Cold War period, cultivating misperceptions and eroding trust between the West and Russia.  In her thesis and paper, Fazolat asks whether, in that context, cooperation is possible, and whether it is desirable.
