Contest for the High North: Greenland and Arctic security

Why is everyone suddenly talking about Greenland?

How will Arctic security be impacted by rising great power competition?

How have US neighbours and allies responded?

In this episode, Iselin Németh Winther and Heather Exner-Pirot join David Andrews to explore the evolving significance of Arctic security, the uncertainties for Greenland under Donald Trump, and the potential impact of Arctic power dynamics on global governance.

Iselin Németh Winther is a researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo. She specialises in the geopolitics and security dynamics of the Arctic.

Dr Heather Exner-Pirot is a Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa and Managing Editor of The Arctic Yearbook.

David Andrews is a Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College (NSC).
