“Greenland in Arctic Security makes a substantial empirical contribution to Arctic regional studies as an up-to-date and theoretically nuanced account of Greenland’s security politics. The focus on Greenland as a polity results in an important effort in IR theorizing to move beyond the prevalent European and North American cases upon which many IR concepts are built. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of politics and security in the Arctic and beyond.”
