The diplomatic crisis surrounding Greenland centered largely on the question of sovereignty. What effects, however, can the new Greenland Agreement have on addressing underlying security concerns for the wider Arctic region, in which Greenland is strategically situated between Europe, North America and Russia, and where China has shown substantial long-term interest? Prof. Liselotte Odgaard, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, joins the podcast to explain how NATO countries can, with the Agreement now in place, employ the concept of Distributed Arctic Deterrence—based on an array of advanced technologies and other military capabilities— to enhance security across the vast and sparsely populated region. The discussion also includes a detailed analysis of the significant security challenges faced by NATO, the Golden Dome initiative, the China-Russia partnership, and how China has in recent years sought to exert influence in Greenland and the Arctic.
