Abstract

The principal goal of this chapter is to empirically and inductively answer the main topic of the volume, the influence of sub-state actors on national security, by focusing on the correlation between Greenland’s quest for autonomy and the political dynamism regarding Thule Air Base. The important points the author wishes to make in this chapter are that during the negotiations on the radar upgrade and the transformation of Thule Air Base into an outpost in the U.S. missile defense shield Greenland on the surface maintained a negative stance towards the continuation of Thule Air Base while, in fact, arguing on the premise that the base would stay, and that, through the continued existence of the base and its transformation into a missile defense outpost, Greenland was attempting to increase its say in diplomatic and military matters. In contrast with that, to Denmark the Thule problem posed the question of neglect and responsibility - Denmark found itself in a situation where it had to take a visible, concrete approach toward Greenland and conduct negotiations while constantly trying to keep the political cost down. The attitude of Denmark to deal with the wishes of its sub-state actor Greenland with flexibility and compromise was a pervasive leitmotif in the discussions regarding the missile defense shield.

Immediately after German forces invaded Denmark, Henrik Kauffmann, believing that “now that Denmark cannot function, it is my duty as a plenipotentiary ambassador to protect it,” at his own discretion concluded the above agreement, permitting the stationing of U.S. troops in Greenland. Brun, Eske. “Grønlands Administration i Adskillelsens Aar”. Det Grønlandske Selskabs Aarsskrift 1946. København: Ejnar Munksgaards Forlag: 36. Since concluding the agreement was Kauffmann’s private decision, the document lost effect on the 12th of the same month, but was later ratified on 16 May 1945, after Denmark was liberated from Germany. Other than Kaufmann, the 1941 agreement was signed by the US Secretary of State Corden Hull. Forslag til Rigsdagsbeslutning i Anledning af den i Washington den 9. April 1941 / Forslag til Rigsdagsbeslutning i Anledning af den i Washington den 9. April 1941 undertegnede Overenskomst mellem Danmark og Amerikas Forenede Stater om Grønlands Forsvar. Grønland under den kolde krig –Bilag: 13–23.

H.C. Hansen-papiret. Meddelelse (uformel) fra H.C. Hansen til den amerikanske ambassadør Val Peterson. 16. november 1957. UM 105.D.1.a. Hansen, in a private, unofficial letter dated 16 November 1957, regarded as top secret and later termed the “H.C. Hansen document” (H. C. Hansen-papiret), starts by emphasising that he is writing “on a strictly personal basis” and goes on to say: “I do not think that your remarks require any comments from my side (Jeg tror ikke, at Deres bemærkninger giver anledning til nogen kommentarer fra min side)” – an unclear position that can be interpreted both ways.

Enoksen was clearly talking not about a partial modification but “a new agreement”, which can be taken to mean that he was aspiring for the formulation of an entirely different agreement or for a large revision.

To borrow Enoksen’s words, what was important for the realization of Greenland’s aspiration to take a chair at the table negotiating the 1951 defense agreement was the change in the U.S. understanding of that agreement. The U.S., although stressing that the agreement was the optimal framework for the operation of Thule Air Base, recognized the need for its amendment, i.e., for the amendment of the way Greenland had been treated since 1951.

Here it should be noted that hunting and fishing can be viewed not only as concrete practices, but also as means of representing the identity of one’s ethnic group.

They are groups of people or the descendants of groups of people who originally inhabited the areas occupied by Europeans at the time European powers were making incursions into “the New World”, or who were forcibly removed from their original living environment due to such incursions.

They are groups of people or the descendants of groups of people who are not able to enjoy their original life style due to a colonial status, or some other inferior social or legal status.

Behind this view is the notion that, aside from the “visible indigenous people” who have been recognized as such, there are also “latent indigenous people”, who have not yet been recognized as indigenous or have the potential to become visible in the future.

The coalition of the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, formed in November 2001, was especially determined to promote the politics of consideration and respect for Greenland. See Archer, C.: 139.

We take the view that when the gap between these two items is small, that is, when the central government can achieve both of the above two goals without any conditions attached, the political cost is low, while, on the other hand, the political cost is high when the realization of those goals is accompanied by the exertion of some sort of coercive force or influence.

The declaration was not signed in the Qaanaaq area where the Thule base is located, nor in the capital of Greenland Nuuk or the capital of Denmark Copenhagen, but in the village of Itilleq, which is where Greenland’s Prime Minister Hans Enoksen was born. It is believed that this was a strategic choice in Denmark’s attempts to give a concrete shape to its respect for Greenland’s intentions. See Dragsdahl 2005b.

However, opening the base for civilian use only is not realistic because the maintenance cost (for example the cost of runway maintenance) in that case would be too high.
 
78
The contract was transferred from Greenland Contractors, a firm propped up by Greenlandic capital that was up till then in a contractual relationship with the base, to Exelis Services A/S, a company from mainland Denmark, which operates under the umbrella of the U.S. corporation Vectrus, before the negotiations with the Greenlandic firm even ended. 2015. July 7.
