Summary:The Barents Region was defined in 1993 as an area of political cooperation between Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, but for the purposes of this report, it is extended northwards to include Svalbard and Franz Josef Land in the High Arctic, eastwards to incorporate Yamalo-Nenets, and includes the Barents Sea, to constitute the Barents study area.
