The Faroe Islands have long-standing economic and fishery cooperation with Russia while China is a key export market for Greenland and a serious contender for new investments in Greenland. However, both Greenland and the Faroes are members of NATO via Danish membership. With a particular emphasis on the US as the most vital security ally, this project will examine new Faroese and Greenlandic security strategies, the relationship with Denmark and how increasing great-power rivalry shapes the opportunity structures for sub-state entities such as the Faroes and Greenland.
