The Arctic: A New Frontline of Global Competition

How have the effects of climate change and competition for natural resources influenced renewed interest in Greenland by the United States, its allies and adversaries? Are we witnessing what some are referring to as a new “Trump Doctrine,” or is it part of the blueprint outlined in Project 2025 aimed at establishing global “spheres of influence?”

Join David Livingstone, PhD, for this informative lecture in which he will discuss the strategic motivations and consequences driving U.S. foreign policy in the Arctic. Looking at the history of the Cold War, Livingstone will try and provide ways we can think about the Arctic as a new frontline in a global power struggle.
