Open Seminar Hosted by the Institute of International Affairs at the University of Iceland, Tuesday, January 27, 12:00–13:00 in Oddi 101, University of Iceland.
Existing agreements between the United States, Denmark and Greenland, as well as Greenland’s own foreign, security and defence policy, provide a wide scope for the United States to negotiate anything it could reasonably want or need from Greenland. So what’s behind Trump’s domineering language about “having” Greenland - and why now?
In this talk, Page Louise Wilson, argues that the timing and nature of Trump's demands with respect to Greenland are nothing to do with the Unites States actual national and economic security interests, and everything to do with maintaining Trump's own regime security.
Page Louise Wilson is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Iceland. Her work focuses on Arctic security, politics and governance, theories of international relations, the politics of international law and the politics of technology.
Moderator: Galadrielle Pommereau, PhD candidate specializing in Arctic Studies, University of Iceland
