Development of the Russian Arctic zone: Challenges facing the renovation of transport and military infrastructure

This paper analyzes the resumption of works aimed at rebuilding and modernizing transport and related military infrastructure in the Russian part of the Arctic. The misalignment and incoherence of activities pursued by both public entities (including the power ministries) and private businesses is highlighted. The objective of linking various state programs involved in the research and development of the Arctic is formulated in view of various types of risks, as well as the overall need to develop appropriate procedures for elaborating a tree of objectives assigned to these programs in the context of uncertain changes in the timeline and volume of funding allocated for different programs.
