In turbulent times, it's useful to reflect on patterns of change and stability over the longer term. That's what @ggricius.bsky.social and I do in our long-anticipated new article. We compare data from all 8 Arctic countries between 2007-2024 to identify patterns in Arctic security public opinion.

The US has long been a "really reactive power," increasing its attention as other actors expanded their presence, observed @ggricius.bsky.social with @lemonde.fr www.lemonde.fr/en/les-decod...
lemonde.fr
Why are major powers competing for control of the Arctic?
The Arctic has become a strategic focal point for countries, lying at the intersection of climate and geopolitical challenges. Climate change has sharply accelerated this transformation.

It's already been a busy start to the new year, with many Greenland-related inquiries. So to say the obvious: Greenland is not for sale. Greenlanders do not want to be a part of the US, and respecting their self-determination is the most important message.
