  • Translations of Security; a Framework for the Study of Unwanted Futures; 1
    Routledge New Security Studies TRANSLATIONS OF SECURITY A FRAMEWORK FOR THE STUDY OF UNWANTED FUTURES Trine Villumsen Berling, Ulrik Pram Gad, Karen Lund Petersen, and Ole Wæver Translations of Security This book scrutinises how contemporary practices of security have come to rely on many different translations of security, risk, and danger. Institutions of national security policies are currently undergoing radical conceptual and organisational changes, and this book presents a novel approach for how to study and politically address the new situation. Complex and uncertain threat environments, such as terrorism, climate change, and the global financialcrisis, have paved the way for new forms of security governance that have profoundly transformed the ways in which threats are handled today. Crucially, there is a decentralisation of the management of security, which is increasingly handled by a broad set of societal actors that previously were not considered powerful in the conduct of security affairs. This transformation of security knowledge and management changes the meaning of traditional concepts and practices, and calls for investigation into the many meanings of security implied when contemporary societies manage radical dangers, risks, and threats. It is necessary to study both what these meanings are and how they developed from the security practices of the past. Addressing this knowledge gap, the book asks how different ideas about threats, risk, and dangers meet in the current practices of security, broadly understood, and with what political consequences. This book will be of interest to students of critical security studies, anthropology, risk studies, science and technology studies and International Relations. Trine Villumsen Berling is a Senior Researcher at the Danish Institute for Inter- national Studies (DIIS).

    Greenland: Independence and Foreign and Security Policy Produced, edited and narrated by: Jonas Bredal Juul, University of Copenhagen Featuring: Mar>n Breum, Arc>c expert, journalist and writer Jon Rahbek-Clemmensen, Associate Professor at the Royal Danish Defence College, affiliated with the Center for Arc>c Security Studies Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, Greenlandic member of the Danish Parliament Introduced by: Sarah Mackie Sarah Mackie: Hello and welcome to Northern Lights, the Harvard Arc>c Ini>a>ve Student Podcast. In this episode we are going to explore the issues surrounding Greenland’s foreign and security policy. Jonas Bredal Juul, a student at the University of Copenhagen, asks whether Greenland can ever fully govern its foreign and security policies itself – and what the consequences of this would be? This is Jonas Bredal Juul with ‘Greenland: Independence and Foreign and Security Policy’. Jonas: On top of the north American con>nent, deep into the arc>c, you find Greenland. The world’s biggest island. A place of about 56,000 inhabitants governed by extensive self-rule – though s>ll a part of the Danish Kingdom together with Denmark and the Faroe Islands under what is known as the Unity of the Realm. Two of the major policy areas which are controlled from Denmark are the security and foreign policies. Greenland does, however, have its own Government, a few representa>ons abroad and many Greenlanders aspire for independence in the future. In this podcast I’ll talk to 3 experts to try to understand if it is even possible for Greenland to ever fully govern the foreign and security policies by itself – and what the consequences of this would be.

    Rethinking Bilingualism A sociolinguistic analysis of language planning and education legislation in Greenland Ivalu Søvndahl Pedersen Thesis Submitted for the Degree: Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies Faculty of Social Science, University of Tromsø Norway, November 2009 Acknowledgements Thanks to My supervisor Anna-Riitta Lindgren at the Department of Language and Linguistics at Tromsø University.

My grandmother ningiu , Gerda Søvndahl Pedersen, my little brother Jakob Søvndahl Skovaa and my stepfather Carl-Aage Skovaa. Abstract Many indigenous peoples’ languages in the world are endangered. But the special case in Greenland is the fact that Greenlandic is not an endangered language, even though less than 56,000 people speak Greenlandic. In fact, Greenlandic is spreading in Greenlandic society. The challenge in Greenland is rather how to educate Greenlanders to become functionally bilingual in Greenlandic and Danish, considering the vast varieties of bilingual skills that exist. Greenland has been a Danish colony since 1721 but achieved Home Rule in 1979 and an increased form of self-determination called ‘Self Rule’ in 2009. With the introduction of Self Rule the Greenlandic language has raised its status and become the official language in Greenland. Greenland is dependent on the annual block grant that it receives from the Danish state.

  • Thank You Very Much for the Invitation to This Exciting Seminar and Exhibition
    Neo-Colonialism with a Human Face – the Cosy Self-Colonization in Danish Home Rule by Høgni Hoydal Thank you very much for the invitation to this exciting seminar and exhibition. I will speak mostly on the background of the Faroese experiences. There are very many similarities between Greenland and the Faroe Islands, but also many differences. I will start by showing you where the Faroe Islands are placed in the world. We are here in the middle of the Nordic area, in fact precisely in the center of the Nordic area. We used to say that the Faroe Islands is a country or a land but that’s not quite so. We are both land and sea and if you include our sea in our official zone, then it’s quite a big territory. When we talk about the Danish state today or the Danish realm, we must bear in mind that the mother state or the metropolitan state is much smaller than its colonies. Actually the Faroese periphery is twice as big as the Danish and of course, the Greenlandic territories are thirty times as big as the Danish territory. I will come back to this because I think this is very important for understanding Danish colonialism in the 21st century. 1 Denmark has managed to maintain and uphold the sovereignty over the Faroe Islands and Greenland throughout the whole period of de-colonisation and up until the 21st century. I think that there are a number of very clever ways of managing that and I will try to explain how.

  • Arctic Security in an Age of Climate Change
    arctic security in an age of climate change This is the first book to examine Arctic defense policy and military security from the perspective of all eight Arctic states. In light of climate change and melting ice in the Arctic Ocean, Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, and the United States, as well as Iceland, Sweden, and Finland, are grappling with an emerging Arctic security paradigm. This volume brings together the world’s most seasoned Arctic political-military experts from Europe and North America to analyze how Arctic nations are adapting their security postures to accommodate increased shipping, expanding naval presence, and energy and mineral development in the polar region. The book analyzes the ascent of Russia as the first “Arctic superpower,” the growing importance of polar security for NATO and the Nordic states, and the increasing role of Canada and the United States in the region. Dr. James Kraska serves as the Howard S. Levie Chair of Operational Law at the U.S. Naval War College, where he also teaches on the faculty of the International Law Department. Kraska is a commander and judge advocate in the U.S. Navy. He has served as legal adviser to joint and naval task force commanders in the Asia-Pacific and has completed four Pentagon major staff assignments.

  • The Greenlandic Wish for Independence an Investigation of the Possibilities Within Free Association
    The Greenlandic wish for independence An investigation of the possibilities within free association Mikkel U. Østergaard Master’s thesis, 2017 ABSTRACT The Master’s thesis takes its point of departure in the Greenlandic Constitution Commission established in the spring of 2017. Besides formulating two constitutions, the commission was tasked with exploring options for entering into free association. I set out to explore previous use of free association in the United States and New Zealand, how Siumut politicians promoted free association and finally what contentions Denmark may have in a free association arrangement. This investigation focused on the three aspects of citizenship, foreign- and security policy and economy and was carried out on the basis of the United Nations framework on free association in the context of the theory of late sovereignty. Free association agreement was deemed possible, but several contentions exist between Greenland and Denmark to which negotiations would have to clear away. Abstract The Master’s thesis takes its point of departure in the Greenlandic Constitution Commission established in the spring of 2017. The commission was tasked with formulating two constitutions; one to apply for the Self-Government in the Danish Realm, and one to apply for an independent Greenlandic government. Moreover, the commission was tasked with exploring options for entering into free association. In my thesis, I set out to investigate whether it is possible to accommodate Greenland’s wish for independence if Denmark and Greenland were to venture into a free association relationship. I also sought to investigate which points of contention were likely to arise and how these could be cleared away.
