Resource Extraction and Arctic Communities: The New Extractivist Paradigm
For decades, a post-Cold War narrative heralded a 'new Arctic', with melting ice and snow and accessible resources that would build sustainable communities. Today, large parts of the Arctic are still trapped in the path dependencies of past resource extraction. At the same time, the impetus for green transitions and a 'new industrialism' spell opportunities to shift the development model and build new futures for Arctic residents and Indigenous p…

Brokers of hope: Extractive industries and the dynamics of future-making in post-colonial Greenland
In the ambitious strategy of Greenland to attract foreign companies to engage in extractive industries as a means to create increased national independence the question of minerals emerges as pivotal. The article investigates how two prominent Greenlandic premiers (2009–2014) translated hard rock into soft human welfare in a complex post-colonial context. The article develops the concept of “brokers of hope” which points the analytical attention …
Rethinking Greenland and the Arctic in the Era of Climate Change: New Northern Horizons
This ground-breaking book investigates how Arctic indigenous communities deal with the challenges of climate change and how they strive to develop self-determination. Adopting an anthropological focus on Greenland’s vision to boost extractive industries and transform society, the book examines how indigenous communities engage with climate change and development discourses. It applies a critical and comparative approach, integrating both local pe…

Climate Change and Human Mobility: Challenges to the Social Sciences
'The greatest single impact of climate change could be on human migration', stated the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990. Since then there has been considerable concern about the large-scale population movements that might take place because of climate change. This book examines emerging patterns of human mobility in relation to climate change, drawing on a multidisciplinary approach including anthropology and geography. It…
Earth System Science, the IPCC and the problem of downward causation in human geographies of Global Climate Change
Environmental determinist explanations of human behaviour have been few and far between in human geography since the Second World War. Environmental determinism is, however, resurfacing in human geography particularly when climate change is the topic of investigation. In this paper, we trace this revival and link it to the dominance of Earth System Science (ESS) and the institutional process of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)…

Urbanization, Landscape Appropriation and Climate Change in Greenland
Approximately 80% of the population in Greenland lives in towns. This constitutes a challenge for resource managers as people are increasingly aspiring to use the landscape for a variety of purposes and activities due to the heterogeneity of the city. This article unfolds how urbanization is taking place in Greenland and how it reorganizes the society and the landscape. Four challenges related to different positions of the city of Nuuk will be to…

Horizons of Sustainability in Greenland: Inuit Landscapes of Memory and Vision
A close, inseparable, and historical relationship with the land and its resources has become one of the central features of the cultures of indigenous peoples throughout the world, including the Inuit. The intimate attachment and sense of belonging to the landscape emphasize local bonds to place, as well as the extensive time span in which people have experienced it. This concern with locality is, among other things, framing the political use of …

Hunting and Management of Beluga Whales ( Delpinapterus leucas ) in Greenland: Changing Strategies to Cope with New National and Local Interests
Modernization, as well as the rapid socioeconomic and political changes that have taken place in Greenland in the 20th century, have altered the interests and concerns of Greenland's hunters. For example, these changes can be observed in the way hunters divide a catch of beluga whales. This article focuses specifically on how beluga hunters have negotiated new ways of dividing the catch in order to respond to new needs and demands. Today, Greenla…
Arktiske Folk Som Statister Og Aktører På Den Globale Scene
Frank Sejersen: Arctic people as by-standers and actors at the global stage For centuries, the indigenous peoples of the Arctic have been perceived as isolated from the rest of the world. The article argues that secluded Arctic communities do not exist and that Arctic peoples are integrated into numerous political, cultural and economic relations of a global extent. The pre-colonial inter-continental trade between Siberia and Alaska and the incre…
