We invite you to participate in this workshop. It will be held as a joint session with International Summer School “Security and Recourses in the Barents Region” and as a part of International Academic Conference “Calotte Academy”.
Today we witness a gap between theoretical knowledge on human security and its practical applications that influences socio-economic development of a cross-border region. The problem is becoming more complicated due to the lack of communication between experts and potential ultimate target groups - local authorities, business and people.
In some cases the location of the Northern Periphery cross-border regions makes them vulnerable and exposed to various risks. This is why there is a need to establish a risk response system and render assistance in intelligent and innovative territory management based on knowledge. Ability of different actors to prevent and resolve conflicts in various social and economic spheres is crucial for socio-economic development of the Northern territories. Conflict management is considered to be a key to development of sustainable social relations system, which also includes economic activities.
An appropriate legislative regulation of these issues is a key element of complex and sustainable development of socio-economic sphere, system of government and municipal management in subarctic region of Russia.
