Camilla Tenna Nørup Sørensen

We continue our discussion on Arctic security politics, focusing on China and their interest in the Arctic Council. Camilla Sørensen, the foremost expert of China’s role in global politics at the Royal Danish Defence College joins us in the studio in Copenhagen. Camilla has recently published an article in SJMS with her colleague, Jørgen Staun.

I denne podcast har Insightview.eu talt med Camilla Tenna Nørup Sørensen, Ph.d. og Lektor ved Institut for Strategi og Krigsstudier ved det danske Forsvarsakademi, om betydning af den kinesiske præsidents besøg i Moskva hos Præsident Putin. I sidste uge blev udstedte den internationale straffedomstol, ICC, en arrest-ordre på Putin, som anklages for krigsforbrydelser.
‌
‌Insightview.eu spørger Camilla, hvad formålet med Xi Jinpings besøg er? ‌‌Er der mulighed for at han agerer fredsmægler - og i så fald, hvorfor skulle han gøre det? Kan Xi Jinping og Biden administrationen have fælles interesse i at finde en løsning på Ukraine-krigen i en periode, hvor den kinesiske økonomi er presset. Desuden står Demokraterne i USA overfor et vanskeligt præsidentvalg i 2024, hvor der er tegn på faldende opbakning mht den militære støtte til Ukraine. ‌Insightview spørger også Camilla, hvad konsekvenserne er i fald Xi Jinping gør det endnu tydeligere, at Kina vil støtte Rusland i kampen mod Vesten.
‌
‌Vi taler også om de nuværende omgivelser er perfekte for den kinesiske valutas internationalisering, Nordkorea og et Europa, som kun langsomt tilpasser sig en ny verdensorden.
‌
‌Camilla Tenna Nørup Sørensen har i længere tid argumenteret for, at vi i Europa og USA ikke har erkendt Vestens faldende indflydelse. Det betyder, at vi ikke skal forvente global opbakning til en løsning af Ukraine-konflikten. Det er konsekvensen af en ny verdensorden.

In this podcast [55 min - language: Danish], Insightview has interviewed Camilla Noerup Soerensen, an Associate Professor at the Institute for Strategy and War Studies at the Royal Danish Defence College in Copenhagen. We discuss how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has changed geopolitics globally. We talk about the European Union, France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, India, Turkey, Israel, and China. Insightview asks Camilla whether China's support for Russia - regardless of Russia's war crimes in Ukraine - is for China's sake or to save President Xi Jinping's political life? Last but not least, Insightview asks Camilla what Denmark really achieves by scrapping its EU defence opt-out? This podcast is in Danish, as it should also be seen as a contribution to the debate on Denmark's upcoming referendum on the EU defence opt-out.

This episode considers the implications of Russia’s increasingly aggressive foreign and defence policies for peace and security in the Arctic, and how China’s growing interest in the polar territories is further reshaping regional relations. Dr Katarzyna Zysk, Professor of International Relations and Contemporary History at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies, and Dr Camilla Sørensen, Associate Professor at the Institute for Strategy and War Studies at the Royal Danish Defence College, discuss with Dr Neil Melvin, RUSI Director of International Security Studies, how the security and defence environment of the Arctic has undergone far-reaching shifts, with Russia pursuing military modernisation and a destabilising foreign and security policy towards the transatlantic community, and China’s interests in the Arctic growing rapidly
