dc.descriptionJapan, South Korea, Singapore, and India joined the Arctic Council as observers in 2013, concurrently with China, but their perspectives have not received sufficient attention. This paper examines how US partners Japan, South Korea, India, and Singapore view their role in Arctic governance and security and what this means for the United States. From the perspective of Indo-Pacific states seeking to access Arctic shipping routes and resources and participate in Arctic science and governance, the Russia-administered Northern Sea Route (NSR) was a crucial gateway until 2022, when their compliance with Ukraine-related sanctions limited cooperation. This paper concludes with suggestions for alternative pathways for engagement with US Indo-Pacific partners in the North Pacific Arctic, especially in non-traditional security, technology-sharing, science cooperation, and education. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect East-West Center policies or positions.
