The monograph  «Arctic: Zone of Peace and Cooperation»  was prepared by IMEMO RAN as part of the Project Euro-Atlantic Security Initiative (EASI). The monograph from the perspective of different disciplines analyses the implications of changing Arctic climate for multilateral cooperation among states: the international legal framework for such cooperation, the prospects for exploration and exploitation of natural resources, fisheries and navigation solutions to security problems. The monograph continues the series of publications under the aegis of IMEMO and EASI in Russia. EASI project was initiated by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and implemented by a group of prominent politicians and experts from Russia, the United States and Europe to develop proposals for new security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic area. The main partner in Russia is IMEMO RAN. All the participants see the solution to problems not through the prism of relations between Russia and the West, but in the context of common security threats. This approach allows promoting the Russian vision of European security more effectively. EASI Project and the active participation of the Russian side have been found appropriate by the President of the Russian Federation and the Russian Foreign Ministry.
