NDI STUDY:
Coherent Northern Dimension: The Policy priorities of Arctic Council (AC), the Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC), the Council of Baltic Sea States (CBSS) and the Nordic Council of Ministries (NCM)
The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence of the University of Tampere, Barents Institute of the University of Tromso and St. Petersburg State University have finalized the Northern Dimension Institute's (NDI) study 'Coherent Northern Dimension'. The study examines the coherence of the work of the main regional intergovernmental organisations in the area covered by the Northern Dimension policy of the EU, Iceland, Norway and Russia -- the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the Council of Baltic Sea States and the Nordic Council of Ministers. It makes several recommendations to improve the coherence of northern regional cooperation and enhance the contribution of the Northern Dimension to that effect. An earlier version of the study was presented to the Northern Dimension Senior Officials meeting in Reykjavik, 8 November 2011
