The Arctic region as a space for trans-disciplinary, resilience and peace

The article is based on report of Professor Lassi Heininen at the international conference "Ensuring security and sustainable development of the Arctic region, the preservation of eco-systems and traditional lifestyles of indigenous peoples of the Arctic", which was held in the framework of the V International meeting of representatives of the Member States of the Arctic Council, observer States and foreign scientific public on 15-16 September 2015 in the city of Arkhangelsk. During the period in after the Cold War has been carried out successfully transition from military confrontation to the political stability and increasing international cooperation. New circumstances and uncertainty may jeopardize the stability of the existing. Lassi Heininen believes that none of us would like to open a new front in the Arctic - we are experienced and wise enough not to do so.
