Abstract :The concept of the global commons has paved a resilience-based approach to vulnerable regions. At the nexus of geopolitics and economics, the atmosphere, Antarctica, the High Seas, and outer space are in crisis due to the negative effects of climate change. Therefore, this research interrogates the current anthropocentric approach to international relations. It attaches importance to a systematic process of reconstruction, especially against the states and institutions that cannot provide a solution to the ecological crises we have been experiencing in recent years. In this reconstruction process, planetary politics has been dominant in the international relations literature through its suggestion of a systemic change. Planetary politics arguments can be adapted within the Arctic international relations literature that considers the existing international institutions and politics as insufficient in the region, where ecological change is disruptive. Besides, the thought of planetary politics over the Arctic region has similar arguments, especially when considering studies associated with green theory. It is known that green theory emerged as a solution-providing paradigm in the Arctic international relations literature. Accordingly, by adopting the planetary politics perspective, this research tries to outline how the environmental and development issues and their associated dispute matters are being settled in the Arctic
