SUMMARY:[Online roundtable] Greenland as a Geopolitical Emergency: Crisis Narratives\, Security\, and the European Union
DESCRIPTION:A geopolitical Emergency\nRecent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump reviving the idea of acquiring Greenland have once again brought the island to the center of international political and security debates. Far from being an isolated provocation\, these remarks have intensified existing tensions in the Arctic and reinforced narratives of urgency surrounding sovereignty\, strategic competition\, and military security in the region. \nWithin this context\, Greenland is increasingly framed as a geopolitical “emergency\,” raising critical questions for the European Union regarding its role\, responsibilities\, and limits of action. \nThis online roundtable examines how crisis and emergency narratives shape European responses to Greenland\, influence EU unity and governance\, and prioritize certain security concerns over others. Bringing together perspectives on EU strategic options and the geopolitics of warfare\, the discussion explores Europe’s imperfect but viable approaches to an increasingly securitized Arctic landscape. \nSpeakers:\n\nTim Haesebrouck (Ghent University)\,\nEleni Kavvatha (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles)\,\nEnrico Gianoli from Osservatorio Artico\n\nModeration: Teresa Cabrita (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles) \nPractical Informations:\nDate: 27 February from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM \nFormat: Online \nEvent is free and open to everyone but registration is mandatory\, through this form
