Strategic Narrative and Hegemony Maintenance:The Discourse Narrative Logic of Biden Administration's Arctic Strategy
In the process of maintaining hegemony,the United States not only relies on economic,technological,military and other material power,but also implements structural soft power through discursive balance and other ways.The national strategic narrative is considered to be a powerful discursive weapon to shape self-benefiting scenarios,mobilize resources,suppress rivals,strengthen alliances,construct the legitimacy of action and win international support.The recent successive launch of the"National Strategy for the Arctic Region"and the"Implementation Plan for the 2022 National Strategy for the Arctic Region"indicates that the Biden administration has placed the strategic importance of the Arctic region under the climate crisis on an unprecedented high level.Based on this,the Biden administration focuses on three narrative manipulating mechanisms to advance the U.S.Arctic strategic narrative,which are issue prominence,discourse deconstruction and cognitive reshaping.Meanwhile,narrative strategies which include intertextual strategy,anti-narrative strategy and framing strategy are used to reconstruct the Arctic threat,highlight hostile countries,shape national roles,mobilize internal and external resources,and encourage the engagement of NATO allies,so as to provide legitimate support for the U.S.to achieve dominance over the Arctic security order and strengthen the hegemonic leadership of the Arctic region from a narrative perspective.A comprehensive understanding of the underlying logic of the Biden administration's strategic narrative in the Arctic would help respond to the U.S.stigmatization of China's participation in Arctic governance and provide useful recommendations for the development of China's"Ice Silk Road"in the Arctic.
