Foreign Policy in Greenland

Foreign Policy in Greenland will shed light on what kind of competences Greenland has in IR and how Greenland undertakes foreign policy, while still being a self-governing territory underneath Danish jurisdiction. Even though Denmark has the ultimate power when it comes to foreign- and security policy, Greenland has received more autonomy in this field in recent years. Back in 1995 a permanent Danish/Greenlandic official group was established to discuss all foreign- and security matters that wererelated to Greenland. In 2003, Greenland and Denmark signed a joint declaration in Itilleq regarding the Greenlandic involvement in international affairs. Since then, the Government of Greenland has written a foreign policy report every year to outline the activities of Greenlandic international relations. This book will undertake a systematic analysis of the foreign policy papers since 2003 (or earlier) and onwards. What kind of activities have Greenland undertaken in international affairs? What are the objectives? Can Greenland be an influential player in international relations? How far is the self-government stretched or limited in relation to international relations? This book will be of interest for those with an interest in international affairs and law as well as those with an interest in international politics and foreign policy.

Analytical Journalism

Responding to an increasingly complex and often contradictory barrage of news information, Analytical Journalism offers a first-of-its-kind guide to this emerging form of science-based journalism. Posited as a practical alternative to other more traditional forms of event-driven news reporting, analytical journalism relies on metatheory and methodology to highlight causal factors such as goals, norms, behaviours and social frameworks when covering events. Seen as adjacent to investigative and data journalism, analytical journalism seeks to provide a solution to the simplification and under-reporting of the causal context by drawing on scientific research and data to offer a deeper understanding of news events. Central to this new field is public understanding; providing news consumers with the information they require to navigate and act with nuance in the real world. Drawing on the author’s experience of teaching analytical journalism at the postgraduate level, this book summarises the aims and theory of the field and contains practical tools to help improve journalists’ contribution to shared public knowledge, including methods and examples of identifying and justifying new causal explanations of an issue. Analytical Journalism will be of interest to advanced journalism students and practitioners exploring alternative forms of journalism.
