The Arctic Council deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
A lot of instability has been inserted into the international system in the past few months, along with questioning about the Western world’s commitment to liberal democratic values. Yet as I opened my news feed last week, a different kind of story, from the Independent Barents Observer, caught my eye: Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende has officially accepted an invitation from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to attend a conference on Arctic cooperation, with Russian President Vladimir Putin the headliner, in Arkhangelsk in March — his first visit to Russia since that country’s annexation of Crimea. It marks an attempt at rapprochement between the two countries in their Arctic affairs.
