Greenland views itself as being on the way to sovereignty. This
image -- and the tensions involved in it -- structure the
triangular relation between the EU, Greenland and Denmark. The
central Other of Greenland has for a couple of centuries been
Denmark, the colonial overlord. The national identity discourses of
Greenland and Denmark both idealise national homogeneity. A central
condition for a continuation of Rigsfaellesskabet, the community of
the realm including Greenland and Denmark, is the idea that
Greenland still needs external assistance in its development
towards independence -- and that this idea can be formulated in a
way which does not infantilise Greenland metaphorically. As part of
the post-colonial diversification of Greenlands dependency, the
bilateral relation between Denmark and Greenland has gradually been
opened up to involve other others. Meanwhile, a discourse
prognosticates that climate change is opening up the Arctic to
minerals extraction and commerce. In these circumstances, the
triangular relation with the EU is played out as a series of
rhetorical and practical sovereignty games, in Nuuk, Copenhagen and
Brussels. Particularly, a number of strategies are employed to
minimise the apparent role of Denmark for the Greenlandic relations
to the EU.
