The Arctic is changing every day.

66° North is a newsletter project by Lukas Wahden, Ph.D. candidate in International Relations at the Center for International Studies at Sciences Po Paris and an Associate Fellow at the Russia Program at George Washington University. The newsletter aims to contextualise the Arctic news cycle, offering commentary on emerging debates about the political future of the circumpolar north. Drawing on materials in English, Russian, and Chinese, 66° North considers divergent — and occasionally unconventional — perspectives on the region. It provides updates on recent developments, adding analysis wherever needed.
