Considering this fact, we first aim to elaborate legal disputes and reflections of  rivalry among major regional states due to the geopolitical-geostrategic and geoeconomical importance of Arctic region and then open to discuss the role of international organizations located in the region in point of constructing the propriate climate for  a durable cooperation in the Arctic, taking in consideration neoliberal institutionalist, regionalist and green theorist approaches which gained more place within international relations discipline in post-Cold War era.
