Description
Summary:Developments in 2016 have again placed China’s role and interests in Greenland in the middle of discussions and tensions between Nuuk and Copenhagen concerning the future of the Kingdom of Denmark. This chapter examines the clash of expectations, interests and concerns in relations between Greenland, Denmark and China. It shows the different, and increasingly conflicting, assessments developing in Nuuk, Copenhagen and Beijing of promises and risks associated with Chinese investments in Greenland. The chapter argues that such developments have to be analysed in the broader context of growing Greenlandic ambitions – and efforts – to resist Denmark’s emphasis on the Kingdom of Denmark as one unitary foreign policy actor.
