Abstract
The enhanced importance of the Arctic has made Denmark more interested in polar politics. This chapter shows that Danish thinking about Greenland has undergone an Arctic turn, whereby Danish policymakers may have directed their attention northward, but they have simultaneously become more interested in the politics of the Arctic region than the bilateral relationship to Greenland. Thus, the rising importance of the Arctic reframes the region in Copenhagen in a way that diminishes Greenland’s room for manoeuvre.
