Today, the Arctic emerges as a crucible of geopolitical, economic, and environmental contestation. Our video of the week traces how US fantasies of buying Greenland are not just imperial nostalgia but a symptom of Western anxieties.

Title and abstract for Wilfrid Greaves and Gabriella Gricius, "The Fragmented Arctic: Comparing Arctic security public opinion in Russia and the A7," Polar Record 63, e6 (2026): 1-13.

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.

Thank you!

I'm happy to share a recently published article with Will Greaves, where we present an original dataset of 164 public opinion polls across the Arctic from 2007-2024 that illustrates the fragmentation of the Arctic into two distinct blocs.

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.

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

You can listen/read some recent comments I've given below in English and German on the topic in more depth with
Talk TV, Nau.ch and bTV Media Group

www.nau.ch/news/ausland...

U.S. interest in Greenland is long-standing and primarily driven by homeland defense considerations, but everything the US needs for its defense is already covered by the defense agreement between Denmark, Greenland, and the U.S.

The so-called Russian and Chinese ships or military threats to Greenland are not real. There are Russian and Chinese ships in the Bering Strait, on the opposite side of the U.S. This idea that is driving a so-called US need for the purchase of Greenland is purely manufactured.

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.

Denmark Has ‘Fundamental’ Differences With U.S. Over Greenland, Diplomat Says

@ggricius.bsky.social said the Trump administration’s claims that Russian and Chinese ships are circling the island are “just not true. The Russian and Chinese ships are not, in fact, in the North Atlantic... They’re in the Bering Strait."

US threats push Greenland towards the EU – not to rejoin it While Trump's plans to annex Greenland may bring Nuuk closer to Brussels economically, experts explain that support for full EU membership remains limited

While the US's plans to annex Greenland may draw Nuuk closer to Brussels, support for full EU membership remains limited. Whatever course the island takes, the decision is its own - with comments from @ggricius.bsky.social and Lin Alexandra Mortensgaard
