The Arctic : organizations involved in circumpolar cooperation / Thai Nguyen, Tim Williams. : YM32-5/2008-15-1E-PDF

"With some exceptions pertaining to specific issues or regions, cooperation in the North has not been a prominent goal of the international community until relatively recently. International cooperation began to evolve rapidly after then Soviet Secretary-General Mikhail Gorbachev delivered a speech in 1987 calling for "a genuine zone of peace and fruitful cooperation" among Arctic states. There is now a plethora of official bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, whose purpose is to manage various issues in the Arctic.
