Abstract
This thesis investigates how the United States has framed climate change as a security threat in its Arctic security agenda from 2019 to 2024, and how this process of framing has influenced the region’s security discourse. Using Entman’s framing theory, this thesis deploys a frame analysis by which the four functions of the framing theory are used as foundation to investigate which frames are used within the two researched ‘Arctic Strategy’ documents. Furthermore using a comparative analysis, this thesis concludes two distinct frames per researched document that indicate an increase of the U.S. military’s involvement in security regarding climate change threats. This finding therefore contributes to an increase in ‘governmentality’ within the interaction of the military with climate change.
