Greenland and the International Politics of a Changing Arctic

This book examines the international politics of semi-independent Greenland in a changing and increasingly globalised Arctic. It analyses how a distinct Greenlandic foreign policy identity shapes political ends and means, how relations to its parent state of Denmark is both a burden and a resource, and how Greenlandic actors use and influence regional institutional settings, foreign states and commercial actors to produce an increasingly independent – if not sovereign – entity. It is essential reading for students and scholars interested in Arctic governance and security, international relations, sovereignty, geopolitics, paradiplomacy and indigenous affairs.
