Iceland, promoted by some as a successful international model of this approach, has been the site – for nearly thirty years – of fierce debate and controversy regarding the system’s effects on regional development, social justice and wealth disparity.

  • House of Ice and Cod: the U.S.-Icelandic Alliance Throughout the Cold War
    ABSTRACT HOUSE OF ICE AND COD: THE U.S.-ICELANDIC ALLIANCE THROUGHOUT THE COLD WAR From 1946 to 2006, the Icelandic government made sure to protect their people, their elves, and their cod from foreign powers. However, in a Cold War world, the need for spheres of influence on the part of the United States complicated Iceland’s security. The U.S. foreign policy makers intended to use economic and military coercion to create an alliance with Iceland. Iceland joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and offered an airbase in Keflavík to help the United States’ goal of collective security. The Icelanders and the British fought in three cod wars dragging the United States in to mediate between allies. The question of stationing military personnel and weapons further complicated their relationship. This work uses the range from 1946 to 2006 to show the ways in which two countries dealt with situations involving economics, the military, and the issues of alliance. Also, by showing these situations, one can view how the Cold War was truly a global war where nations large and small were affected in some way.

  • Iceland's Search for Shelter
    n Fræðigreinar STJÓRNMÁL & STJÓRNSÝSLA A small state in world politics: Iceland’s search for shelter Baldur Thorhallsson, Professor in political science, University of Iceland Abstract The aim of this paper is to determine Iceland’s foreign policy options in relation to shelter theory. Iceland has been seeking political and economic shelter ever since the United States deserted it in 2006, by closing its military base, and in 2008, by refusing to provide it with assistance following its economic collapse. Iceland has made several new security and defence arrangements with its neighbouring states, applied for membership of the European Union and was the first European country to make a free-trade agreement with China. Moreover, the president of Iceland pressed for closer political and economic ties with Russia. Prominent Icelandic politicians frequently claim that Brexit will create a number of opportunities for Iceland and lead to closer cooperation with Britain. However, Iceland has not yet secured shelter of an extent comparable to what it had enjoyed from the United States. In this paper, we will answer questions such as: What does shelter theory tell us about Iceland’s overseas relations with the US, NATO, the EU, Britain, Russia, China, and the Nordic states? Will Iceland receive more reliable shelter provided by multilateral organizations than by a single shelter provider? Keywords: Foreign policy; small states; shelter theory; Iceland. Introduction Iceland has been searching for shelter ever since the US closed its military base in the country in 2006 and refused to provide it with a rescue package following the 2008 economic crash.

  • The Fisheries Dimension
    From Membership to Partnership, the EU and its Relations with the UK after Brexit: the Fisheries Dimension Dr Thomas Appleby Associate Professor in Property Law, University of the West of England, Bristol Abstract Fishing in European waters has been a contentious issue since the sixteenth century and was a key factor in the development of the international law of the sea itself. At the time the UK joined the EU and shared its waters with Member State vessels it also lost access to its traditional fishing grounds off Iceland. The Common Fisheries Policy developed a centralised approached based around historic fleet size rather than productivity of Member States’ waters. Controls were centered around technical measures, reduction in capacity and quota. These worked: the collapse of fish stocks was halted and started to recover a little. However many stocks are still potentially illegally allocated beyond scientific levels, and fishing continues unmanaged in the EU’s suite of offshore marine protected areas. The management institutions need greater transparency and stronger adherence to the law. There is scope to build a future relationship between the EU and the UK: the UK and some of its overseas territories needs the EU market, many stocks are shared, and the parties will need to agree on scientific approaches. However, It is likely that the UK is due a greater allocation of stocks than the current system. As we approach the endgame of the Brexit negotiations it is important that both sides reflect that fishing represents less that 0.1% of their economies and over-politicisation of a small sector will not help either party in the context of the larger negotiations.

  • Why Did the Cod Wars Occur and Why Did Iceland Win Them? a Test of Four Theories
    Why Did the Cod Wars Occur and Why Did Iceland Win Them? A Test of Four Theories Sverrir Steinsson MA Thesis in International Affairs School of Social Sciences June 2015 Why Did the Cod Wars Occur and Why Did Iceland Win Them? A Test of Four Theories Sverrir Steinsson MA Thesis in International Affairs Advisors: Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir and Guðni Th. Jóhannesson Faculty of Political Science School of Social Sciences University of Iceland June 2015 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Affairs at the University of Iceland. This thesis cannot be reproduced without the author’s consent. © Sverrir Steinsson 2015 090390-3689 Reykjavík, Iceland 2015 Abstract Few attempts have been made to provide theoretical explanations for the occurrence and outcomes of the Cod Wars. In this thesis, I test hypotheses derived from four IR theories and perspectives on the Cod Wars: the Rationalist Explanations for War perspective, which sees information problems, commitment problems and issue indivisibility as drivers of conflict; Liberal IR theory, which expects democracy, commercial ties, and institutions as pacifying influences; Structural Realism, which expects states to pursue their security interests; and Neoclassical Realism, which expects statesmen’s pursuit of security interests to be distorted by domestic pressures. I find that Liberal and Structuralist Realist expectations were not met, that rational miscalculation and misinformation contributed to the occurrence of the disputes, and Neoclassical Realist expectations were fully met in all of the disputes. Following these tests, I provide a new, structurally informed explanation of the Cod Wars.

  • Igby Goes Down (2002) Un Adolescente in Cerca Del Senso Dell'esistere
    Igby Goes Down (2002) Un adolescente in cerca del senso dell'esistere. Un film di Burr Steers con Kieran Culkin, Claire Danes, Jeff Goldblum, Jared Harris, Amanda Peet, Ryan Phillippe, Bill Pullman, Susan Sarandon. Genere Commedia durata 97 minuti. Produzione USA 2002. Igby, uno strano ragazzo diciassettenne, vive con la madre malata di cancro e il padre schizofrenico... Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Igby si fa cacciare da tutti i licei e sua madre decide di iscriverlo all'Accademia militare ma anche questo non serve a metterlo in riga. Perché Igby ha un padre ormai ricoverato da tempo in una casa di cura per disturbi psichici, un fratello che riesce in tutto e un padrino, D.H., che lo tratta con generosa supponenza. L'amore per una ragazza più grande sembra aprirgli delle prospettive più rosee ma la precarietà (anche sentimentale) sembra difficile da debellare. Kieran Culkin riesce con classe a sfuggire al cono d'ombra proiettato dall'ingombrante fratello Macaulay grazie a una sceneggiatura efficace e a un cast di comprimari di alto livello. A partire da Susan Sarandon che disegna il personaggio di una donna impegnata a svuotare di senso la vita del marito e del figlio. Il film si apre con la scena in cui i due fratelli uccidono la madre per soffocamento. Si tratta di un delitto dettato da rancore filiale o di eutanasia? Lo sapremo solo alla fine. Prima avremo seguito l'annaspante vita di Igby (neppure il nome è suo) costretto a cercare di sopravvivere a un mondo di adulti troppo ripiegati su se stessi per donargli veramente qualcosa.
