Denmark and Greenland in Arctic politics: how external attention may change their internal relationship

This research project examines how Denmark (DK) and Greenland (GL) position themselves - together as well as separately - in Arctic international politics, currently shaped by great power competition. This is important for two particular reasons: First, because it will significantly deepen our understanding of how the geopolitics and governance of the Arctic may change the national security of DK and GL. Secondly, because it will expose (para)diplomatic moves trying to shift the power balance within the Danish Realm and suggest scenarios for a restructuration in order to sustainably respond to these changes. The output of the post.doc-project will be the first ever academic monograph about DK and GL in Arctic politics - timed to coincide with their Arctic Council chairmanship in 2025.
