Is Canada Prepared to Defend Its Arctic Sovereignty in a Militarising North?
This article explores whether Canada is truly prepared to defend its Arctic sovereignty in a region that is becoming increasingly strategic due to climate change and geopolitical competition. As melting ice opens new shipping routes and access to natural resources, global powers like Russia, China and the United States are strengthening their presence in the Arctic.
While Canada maintains a historical and political claim over the region, the country faces significant challenges including major underinvestment, limited military capabilities, outdated infrastructure and so on. The article argues that to remain credible, Canada must move beyond their symbolic presence on the territory and invest in long-term capabilities and consistent engagement in the North.

[REPORT] Greenland on the Chessboard: European Strategic Autonomy Challenge
Greenland is no longer a peripheral Arctic territory but a strategic pressure point where U.S. power projection, European strategic ambition, and local sovereignty intersect. What appears to be a debate about resources or military positioning is, in fact, a deeper geopolitical test of the transatlantic order. The island has emerged as a focal point of great-power competition, shaped by climate change, resource potential, and shifting security dynamics.
In this context, Greenland functions as a geopolitical stress test for European strategic autonomy. It reveals both the ambitions of the European Union to act independently and the structural constraints that continue to bind it to the transatlantic alliance. At the same time, Greenland is not merely an object of competition but an active strategic actor, leveraging its position to balance external powers and advance its own sovereignty.
