Swedish Chairmanship of the Barents Euro-Arctic Council 2017–2019: Key Results and Achievements

Annotation

The Barents Euro-Arctic Region is an integration of states and their administrative divisions, markedly different in terms of population living standards, but with a particular affinity that affords firm ground to consider the region as a separate geopolitical, economic, social and cultural macroregion. The article concentrates on the analysis of key results and achievements of Swedish chairmanship of the Barents Euro-Arctic Council (October 19, 2017 — October 3, 2019), evaluating the current status and prospects for further international cooperation within the framework of the BEAR.
