Our Daria Shapovalova has co-authored a new paper on the effects of Western sanctions on Russian Arctic petroleum production. Following the conflict in Ukraine, the European Union and the United States adopted sanctions limiting the cooperation between Russian and western companies for Arctic offshore petroleum development. The paper analyses the transformation in national governance of natural resources in the Russian Arctic, focusing on offshore oil and gas. It provides a historical background of the governance model to facilitate the analysis of the effects of western sanctions on the current resource development and its regulation. Through the analysis of legal and policy documents, the paper provides an outlook for future developments in the Russian Arctic offshore resource governance.
