 abstract={The Arctic is a social construct like any other element of reality. This region is witnessing some of the greatest changes in the modern world. It engages both researchers frommany disciplines, decision makers from the Arctic states and outside the region, global energy companies and business, environmentalists, as well as local communities. The focal point ofmany discussions concerning the Arctic is the climate change. The region is experiencing its effects like no other in the world. Indeed, climate change is creating new challenges, but also opportunities. Since the late 1980s, the Arctic has emerged as an international region in termsof international relations research. In other words, the development of cooperation between the Arctic states (USA, Canada, Kingdom of Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and theRussian Federation) initiated institutionalisation. There is a general conviction that international cooperation in the region began with environmental issues. The consequence of this was the Rovaniemi Process and the establishment of the Arctic Council in 1996. Since then, the cooperation has been intensified and partially extended to other ar.eas. From the scientific pointof view, it seems interesting to study the process of regionalisation (its manifestations) and the idea of regionalism (the basis of the process).The theoretical framework of the study is based on the thought of social constructivism.Epistemological openness and a reflective perspective allow for a critical interpretation of the results obtained during the analysis. The first method used in the study is the region—building approach. It investigates region—building process, which covers idea of regionalism and the process of regionalisation. The second method is a discourse analysis. It draws attention to the issues of language in the construction of reality, derived from linguistics. The third method is the comparative method. Arctic strategies are compared with each other. The time frame of the study covers the years 2006—2021. The beginning of this period is marked by the publication of a first comprehensive Arctic strategy by Norway in English.The tuain ailu of the research is to deternline a relation ship between the region—building process and the Arctic strategies. This process and the strategies are Inutually conditioned. It is about an attetnpt to capture the process in research, and, on the other hand, about the perfonnative dinwnsion of the statements in the strategies. The main research question is: howare Arctic strategies correlated with the region—building process? It reflects the main aim of the study. The main research hypothesis is the statement that: region—building process is closely related to Arctic strategies, because the process affects the strategies through its manifestations, and the strategies affect the process through the concepts of process development. In other words, the process is closely related to the strategies, because the manifestations of the processs hape the strategies (its content), and the concepts of the strategy shape the process (its aim).Furthermore, these strategies are key speech acts. The link between the region—building processand the Arctic strategies has not been present in the literature so far. Thanks to the use of computer software, discourse analysis of these documents partially automated the process ofobtaining results. The motive for taking up the topic is to notice and attempt to fill the research gap in international studies on the Arctic region.},
