Global Conversations DIGITAL: The Coldest War

Global Conversations DIGITAL: The Coldest War – Great Power Competition in the Arctic International Registration Media reports of rumors that the United States might purchase Greenland from Denmark left many scratching their heads. While any potential deal seems unlikely, such rumors demonstrate the fluidity of opinion toward the Arctic region. Talk of new policies toward drilling for oil and natural gas, and concerns over climate and arctic ice melting, coincide with comparisons between the United States, Russian, and Chinese strategies in the Arctic region. What lies ahead for this critical environmental gem? Join a discussion with Heather A. Conley, Senior Vice President for Europe, Eurasia, and the Arctic; and Director, Europe Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) as she examines the future of the Arctic.
