For a long time, the Arctic has been regarded as a stable region with low tension. However, even though low tension prevails, it is a fact that the circumpolar region also encompasses some of the world's most capable and potent military capabilities. The key role of the Arctic regarding security issues, international relations and geopolitics, is sometimes underplayed or not fully understood. These aspects of security are investigated in this thematic issue of Arctic Review on Law and Politics.

Los vestigios de la cultura Puruhá se estudian desde diversas aristas, principalmente desde el enfoque arqueológico. La última investigación formal data de 1927, realizada por Jijón y Caamaño. Desde el enfoque del Diseño, existen pocos antecedentes, considerando pertinente su análisis porque, entre los objetivos de esta disciplina, está el promover industrias culturales y particularmente, procesos para la digitalización de bienes culturales. La investigación surge con base al análisis de elementos visuales de piezas cerámicas, bajo la perspectiva de interpretación semiótica, basada en aportes teóricos de los autores Josef Estermann, Carlos Milla y Zadir Milla. El objetivo es desarrollar propuestas de sistemas modulares y súper modulares, aplicando leyes y categorías compositivas del Diseño. El método predominante es el analítico descriptivo, que parte de la digitalización de las piezas cerámicas seleccionadas, aplicando bipartición y tripartición armónica, principios compositivos propios de la semiótica andina. El proceso continúa con la aplicación de una matriz de generación modular, sustentada en leyes y categorías del Diseño. El resultado principal es el banco digital de sistemas modulares y súper modulares, que podrían ser utilizados como fuente inagotable de experimentaciones creativas para la creación de piezas gráficas, que evidenciarán la riqueza iconográfica de la cultura estudiada.

Since the start of the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, the Nordic states have sought to advance their defence cooperation "beyond peacetime" to also encompass operational military cooperation in crisis and armed conflict. Relations between the two Nordic non-NATO members, Sweden and Finland, have formed a vanguard, encompassing bilateral operational planning beyond peacetime. While no formal security policy guarantees have been exchanged, Sweden and Finland have created strong expectations that they will lend each other support in a crisis. In short, while no formal alliance treaty exists, the two states have nevertheless become closely aligned. In 2020, Sweden and Finland joined NATO member Norway in signalling their intention to strengthen their trilateral defence relationship. The following year, NATO members Norway and Denmark signed a similar agreement with Sweden. The goal of these documents was to coordinate their national operational plans – their "war plans" – and perhaps develop some common operational plans. In this article, it is argued that these agreements fall short of a formal military alliance, but that they represent an alignment policy between the Nordic states.
