The Arctic, albeit an esoteric region enclosed by eight circumpolar states, is considered as a ‘‘global space’’ located beyond national jurisdictions. The Arctic is called a global space because it engenders intersubjective political interests across the states of the world and causes interstate relations to converge on the region. This global space, among other imaginations and possibilities, is primarily a maritime area of the Arctic Ocean. As far as the legal status of the region is concerned, there is hardly a state in the international community of states which has not acknowledged the legal status of this particular geographical area as it is demarcated and codified under international law.
