摘要

This commentary foregrounds the import of regulatory power in region-making practices in the Arctic. I note the increasing interest in Arctic governance from China in the context of its Belt and Road Initiative and from the European Union in the context of its overall political agenda. I discuss what regulatory power means, why it matters, and what greater attention to it would add to our understanding of Arctic regionalism. My goal is to highlight the standard-making practices that may remain invisible on the ground but govern economic and political life from a distance.
