Abstract

Increased rivalry between the great powers in the
Arctic produces challenging issues for the constitutional
community consisting of Greenland, the Faroe
Islands and Denmark. Denmark and Greenland must
make the role they each want to play in the international
community clear and rethink the responsibilities
and coordination procedures of the community. Otherwise, Greenland and Denmark risk contributing to
increased tension in the Arctic – and Greenland risks
missing out on potential gains from the growing
attention from the great powers.
