Description

Geopolitics of Greenland explores the growing strategic importance of Greenland in the evolving architecture of global power, particularly within the Arctic region. As climate change accelerates the melting of polar ice and opens new maritime routes, Greenland has moved from a remote peripheral territory to a central geopolitical pivot linking the North Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, North America, and Europe.

The book analyses how emerging shipping corridors, competition for natural resources, and technological advances in surveillance and maritime governance are reshaping the strategic value of the Arctic. Greenland's geographic position, extensive maritime zones, and proximity to critical communication routes make it a key node in the global balance of power. At the same time, the island faces complex governance challenges as it balances its political autonomy, its constitutional relationship with Denmark, and the strategic interests of major powers such as the United States, China, and Russia.

Ultimately, Geopolitics of Greenland argues that understanding Greenland is essential to understanding the future of Arctic governance and the transformation of global maritime geopolitics in the twenty-first century.
