Özet:

 The Arctic Region, which is located between the northern latitudes and the pole, is rich in oil and natural gas reserves and also causes competition between countries due to its geopolitical location. At the same time, the melting of glaciers as a result of global warming affects the strategic location of the region. With the melting of glaciers, sea levels rise and the ecological balance is disrupted. However, the melting of glaciers creates the opportunity to determine new sea route routes and to provide easier access to oil and natural gas resources. In this direction, the study aims to examine the geopolitical impact of the region by considering the environmental factors and economic values of the oil resources in the Arctic Region in todays century. Thus, it will contribute to the determination of new policies in the international arena and the formation of economic sustainability in the region. Document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. It was concluded that the oil resources and geopolitical location in the region cause countries to claim rights regarding the region and that the environmental imbalance arising from global climate change may cause serious damage in the future and may become advantageous for the region.

 Kuzey enlemleri ile kutup noktası arasında kalan Arktika Bölgesi, petrol ve doğal gaz rezervleri bakımından zengin olmasının yanı sıra jeopolitik konumu sebebiyle ülkeler arasında rekabete yol açmaktadır. Aynı zamanda küresel ısınma sonucunda buzulların erimesi bölgenin stratejik konumunu etkilemektedir. Buzulların erimesi ile deniz seviyesi yükselmekte ve ekolojik denge bozulmaktadır. Ancak buzulların erimesi yeni deniz yolu güzergâhları belirleme, petrol ve doğal gaz kaynaklarına daha kolay erişim sağlama imkânı yaratmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, Arktika Bölgesindeki petrol kaynaklarının günümüz yüzyılında çevresel faktörler ve ekonomik değerler göz önüne alınarak bölgenin jeopolitik etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Böylece uluslararası arenada yeni politikaların belirlenmesine ve bölgedeki ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğin oluşmasına katkı sağlayacaktır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bölgedeki petrol kaynaklarının ve jeopolitik konumunun ülkelerin bölge ile ilgili hak iddia etmelerine neden olduğu ve küresel iklim değişikliği sebebiyle ortaya çıkan çevresel dengesizliğin ileriki dönemlerde ciddi zararlar verebileceği gibi bölgenin avantajlı hale gelebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
