Course outline

According to the Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2008, Russia will do its best to promote practical interaction with the countries of Northern Europe, including support to joint projects implemented under multilateral institutions that foster cooperation in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region in particular and in the Arctic Region in general, taking interests of indigenous peoples into consideration. Previous Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2008, mentioned neither Northern Europe, nor Arctic Region.

This course will focus on the formation of the Russian Policy on the European North throughout the 2000s, including its origins, functions, organization, structure and prospects for the future.
