Conference on the New Arctic: Building Cooperation in the Face of Emerging Challenges, April 26, 2011, Stockholm
This conference marked the beginning of the Swedish Chairmanship of the Arctic Council and the launch of the SIPRI Arctic Security Project 'Arctic Futures: Managing Competition and Promoting Cooperation', supported by a grant from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (MISTRA).
Organized by SIPRI together with the Swedish Institute of International Affairs, the conference brought together leading policy makers and experts to consider the key political and security issues emerging in the Arctic and to examine the role of multilateral governance, notably the Arctic Council, in addressing these challenges.
