Description
Summary:In the 90-s of the XX-th century under active participation of Russia mechanisms of international cooperation were formed in the regions of Baltic Sea, Barents, Caspian, Black Sea and Arctic region. At the beginning they had different aims. With the time these platforms have gone through evolution with their agendas and functional principles becoming alike. At the time of turbulent transition of the international affairs such associations can play a positive, consolidating role and contribute to further strengthening the ties between participating countries on pragmatic basis of finding solutions for common regional problems. В начале 90-х гг. ХХ в. при участии России были образованы механизмы международного взаимодействия в рамках регионов Балтийского, Баренцева, Каспийского и Черного морей, а также Арктики. Первоначально в каждом случае преследовались различные цели. Со временем эти диалоговые платформы эволюционировали, в их повестке дня и принципах работы появились схожие черты. В условиях турбулентных процессов трансформации международных отношений такие объединения могут сыграть позитивную, консолидирующую роль и способствовать укреплению связей между государствами на прагматичной основе для решения общих региональных проблем.
