Abstract
Understanding how constructivist theory applies to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) can help us to understand not only its beginning, but also where it is going. Constructivist theory reflects the importance of identity and ideology within NATO. It reveals the dueling identities within the organization that widely shapes its behavior and creates a better understanding of NATO’s approach as well as its actions within the Arctic region. A resurgent Russia in addition to climate change both play impactful roles in shaping the shifting Arctic environment and in the understanding of how NATO will interact within the region.
