SUMMARY:Greenland and the Geopolitics of the Arctic Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As climate change accelerates the melting of Arctic ice\, the region is rapidly emerging as a new geopolitical frontier. The Arctic holds immense strategic value due to its untapped natural resources—estimated to include 13% of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30% of its natural gas—as well as critical rare earth minerals essential for modern technologies. Melting ice is also opening new maritime routes that could significantly shorten global shipping times\, increasing the region’s economic and military importance. \n\n\n\nMajor powers\, including the United States\, Russia\, and China\, are expanding their presence in the Arctic\, viewing it as a key arena for influence\, resource competition\, and military positioning. The Arctic’s role in global security is further underscored by its proximity to the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap\, a vital chokepoint for NATO defense strategy. \n\n\n\nWithin this broader context\, the Trump Administration renewed U.S. focus on Greenland as a strategic asset. Greenland’s geographic location makes it a cornerstone of Arctic defense\, prompting the administration to place its military installations under U.S. Northern Command in 2025. The island’s vast reserves of rare earth minerals also attracted attention\, particularly as the U.S. sought to counter China’s dominance in critical supply chains. \n\n\n\nPresident Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark\, while dismissed by both Danish and Greenlandic leaders\, reflected a broader ambition to assert U.S. dominance in the Arctic. However\, this approach drew criticism for marginalizing Greenlandic voices and treating the territory as a geopolitical commodity rather than recognizing its people as autonomous actors. As Greenland moves toward greater self-determination\, future U.S. engagement will need to balance strategic interests with respect for local governance and aspirations. \n\n\n\nThe World Affairs Council of Atlanta speaks with the authors of the book “Greenland – A Journey from the Earliest Times to a Modern Society\,” published in March 2025. Mira Kleist is Head of the Greenland Practice\, Kaya Partners. Jens Heinrich\, Ph.D. is Head of Mission\, Greenland Representation in Denmark. Bo Lidegaard\, Ph.D. is Co-founder\, Kaya Partners. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:A Luncheon and Discussion: "Is War Coming to the Arctic ?" with Dr. Thomas Rotnem
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is thinning the Arctic ice\, promising to create a northwest passage for international trade and reigniting the competition with Russia\, China\, and other countries over access to the region’s mineral resources. The historic ties of Russia and China and their Arctic ambitions reveal that the Arctic is likely to be an arena for future strategic competition. Furthermore\, Greenland has become a focus of the U.S. and other countries because of its strategic location as well as its mineral wealth.  \n\n\n\nRussia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine has temporarily bolstered the West’s position in the Arctic\, as previously neutral Finland and Sweden joined NATO. Finland’s accession into NATO not only increased the NATO-Russia land boarder by over 650 percent\, and moved the defense alliance a mere 250 miles from St. Petersburg\, but it also contributed to creating a divided Arctic\, where nearly half belongs to NATO while the remaining half is Russian territory.  \n\n\n\nRussia already operates a third more Arctic military bases than the U.S. and its NATO allies. Now Putin is moving soldiers\, icebreakers\, warships\, and submarines\, many of them with nuclear capabilities\, to the region\, as well as conducting Arctic drills that test hypersonic missiles capable of evading American defense.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Thomas Rotnem\, Associate Director\, KSU \nThomas Rotnem is the Associate Director of the School of Government and International Affairs\, and Professor of Political Science at Kennesaw State University (KSU). His area of expertise is Comparative Politics\, with a specialization in Russian domestic and foreign politics. At KSU\, he teaches courses on Comparison Politics\, Russian Politics and Culture\, Russian Foreign Policy Comparative Democratization\, Arctic Policy\, and Politics and Security in a Changing Environment.  \n\n\n\nFor a little over a decade\, he’s been studying and writing about Russia’s policy interests in its Arctic realm\, as well as its evolving relationship with China in the region. He has received grants or fellowships from the Social Science Research Council\, IREX\, the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies\, the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars\, the U.S. Department of Education\, the U.S. Department of State\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Fulbright Organization (for lectureships or scholarships in the Russian Federation and Latvia). Most recently\, he has worked as a co-principle investigator on a NSF Grant studying climate change’s impact upon economies in Greenland and Iceland.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
