Data

This section conveys data provided by our coder and a brief discussion of some of the factors that influenced coding. Given the type of data involved, such as national capabilities, the presence of a new government for one or more of the players will impact only at the margins and basic properties of the data will remain intact. For example, procurement issues suggest that Canadian military capabilities in the region will remain limited for the foreseeable future (Byers 2014, Simpson 2014). As another illustration, a bit later on, veto player status assigned by the model to Canada for an issue such as environmental protection will not change, if at all, for a very long time. Another instance concerns Canadian views toward sovereignty per se. Whether they tilt relatively left or right – Liberal or Conservative governments, respectively – concerns about Arctic sovereignty are maintained from one government to the next, even if for reasons that are not identical. While specific aspects are subject to change, the Arctic remains essential to the Canadian brand.

The data reveals that some of the models will not need to be run because only one actor has influence – when Canadian control over the issue area is uncontested or uncontestable. Some contestation remains possible – i.e. bureaucratic politics within Canada – but modeling a purely domestic process is beyond of the scope of this project.10 Coding for each issue appears in Table 1.
