Abstract :This study explores China\'s multifaceted Arctic narrative through the lenses of science diplomacy concept. The article starts with China\'s rationales in the Arctic Region, providing a critical reading of science diplomacy to demonstrate the evolution of the concept over time. After explaining the rationales behind the use of the science diplomacy concept in the Arctic Region, China\'s Arctic narrative is discussed under the umbrella of the science diplomacy concept. The main question of the study is how China uses narratives through its science diplomacy practices in order to justify its presence. Approaching the question through the emerging science diplomacy explanations rather than those of traditional ones, the study contributes both critical science diplomacy studies and China’s dovish standing the in the Arctic region on the ground of its Arctic narrative. The study concludes that, China enjoys the Arctic-club by using its narrative addressing traditional science diplomacy, while its ambitions strategically align with the emerging concept.Keywords : Çin, bilim diplomasisi, Arktik Bölgesi, anlatı
