The EASLG operates as an independent and informal initiative, with participants who reflect the diversity of the Euro-Atlantic region from the United States, Canada, Russia, and 15 European countries.
... cooperation beyond national fisheries jurisdictions of coastal states. Euro-Atlantic Stability Though Crimea and Ukraine are at the crux of U.S.-Russia animosity over the past three years, the underlying disagreements are not new: The United States and Russia have long held conflicting visions of a post–Cold War Euro-Atlantic security order. Broadly, two tensions define the relationship in the Euro-Atlantic arena. First, at the core of the Ukraine crisis lies a contradiction in Moscow and Washington’s understanding of Russia’s legitimate sphere of influence....
... disposal. Third, we need to start a discussion on common security threats and challenges — probably within the NATO — Russia Council framework. I do not think that it would be too difficult to start such a discussion, but it is critically important ... ... negotiations.

... the "dilemma of the two Europes" related, on the one hand, with the expansion of and strengthening of the Western/Euro-Atlantic space (and creation of a Wider Europe through its expansion), and, on the other, with the unlikely inclusion of Russia into the Euro-Atlantic model of Wider Europe and Moscow's mounting resistance to Western pressure. However, the key ESS members currently believe that the previous moves in favor of the security community, including relevant initiatives (the European Security ...
