By focusing on the case of the US Thule Air Base in Greenland, the largest military base in the Arctic, the authors endeavor to show that in the relationship between great powers, small countries and local actors within them, it is possible for local actors (sub-national entities) to have an influence on higher-level actors in the field of diplomacy on the national security level. For that purpose, the book examines political trends involving Greenland, Denmark, the US and Russia by using the multilateral multi-archive approach. The authors also take up the cases of Okinawa (Japan) and Olongapo (the Philippines) as reference points that provide additional insight into the interaction between the US policy regarding overseas military bases and the host countries? polities. The competition involving political and economic interests of a number of countries in the Arctic region has been intensifying in recent years, causing significant concern in the international community. Due to the accelerated melting of sea ice and the increase in the accessibility of natural resources and water lanes, the security situation in the Arctic has been changing rapidly, and this book helps meet the need for understanding the political and military factors behind those changes. 410 0$aSpringer Polar Sciences,$x2510-0483 606 $aEnvironmental policy$2FBC 606 $aSecurity, International$2FBC 606 $aClimatology$2FBC 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aInternational sikkerhed$2FBC 606 $aKlimapolitik$2FBC 606 $aAutonomi$2FBC 606 $aGrønland$2FBC 606 $aDanmark$2FBC 608 $aElectronic Books 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 7$aInternational sikkerhed 615 7$aKlimapolitik 615 7$aAutonomi 615 7$aGrønland 615 7$aDanmark 686 $a355.02 686 $2z 702 $aTakahashi$b Minori 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337914803321 996 $aThe Influence of Sub-state Actors on National Security$92089781 997 $aUNINA
