Die Kartierung der Arktis: Bodenschätze und Großmachtpolitik und multilaterale Governance
In: Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte: APuZ, Heft 5/6, S. 14-23
ISSN: 2194-3621
Der Artikel befasst sich mit der geopolitischen Bedeutung der arktischen Bodenschätze sowie den sich daraus ableitenden rechtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen. Drei Thesen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Erstens: Dem Abbau von arktischem Öl und Gas stehen ernst zu nehmende Schwierigkeiten entgegen - das unwirtliche Klima, die große Entfernung von den Absatzmärkten, die Existenz von Ölvorkommen in anderen Regionen sowie der schwierige Abbau von Schiefergas. Zweitens: Es herrscht beträchtliche Unsicherheit bezüglich der Governance der Arktis, da es Körperschaften wie der Festlandsockelkommission (Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf) der Vereinten Nationen (UN) und dem Arktischen Rat an multilateraler Autorität mangelt. So ergibt sich die Frage, ob die Treffen der Arctic Five, der fünf Arktis-Anrainerstaaten Kanada, Russland, USA, Norwegen und Dänemark (Grönland), zur Einrichtung eines beschlussfassenden Organs führen werden. Drittens: Momentan halten sich die Staaten, die Gebietsansprüche anmelden, zwar an internationale Normen und kooperieren miteinander, aber längerfristig wird sich das Risiko eines geopolitischen Konflikts verstärken. Und das nicht nur, weil sich der Druck von externen Akteuren in Richtung Internationalisierung der Arktis erhöhen wird, sondern auch wegen möglicher Auseinandersetzungen der Arktis-Staaten über Gebietsrechte und Bodenschätze.

Iceland's Security Identity Dilemma: The End of a U.S. Military Presence
In: The Fletcher forum of world affairs, Band 31, Heft 1
ISSN: 1046-1868
In September 2006, the U.S. military withdrew its last troops from Iceland, ending a 55-year presence and leaving Iceland -- without a military of its own -- the sole country in NATO without territorial defense. Iceland is now in a transition phase, the end of which is not yet clear. In the process, Iceland is reexamining its security and institutional ties to Europe and the United States and reevaluating the basis of its foreign policy. Adapted from the source document.

Immunizing against the American Other: Racism, Nationalism, and Gender in U.S.-Icelandic Military Relations during the Cold War
In: Journal of Cold War studies, Band 6, Heft 4, S. 65-88
ISSN: 1531-3298
The 1951 U.S. -Icelandic Defense Agreement paved the way for a permanent U.S. military presence at the Keflavik base in Iceland, an outpost that played a crucial role in U.S. strategy during the Cold War. The article explores two gender-related aspects of the U.S. -Icelandic Cold War relationship:the restrictions on off-base movements of U.S. soldiers, and the secret ban imposed by the Icelandic government on the stationing of black U.S. troops in Iceland. These practices were meant to "protect" Icelandic women and to preserve a homogeneous "national body." Although U.S. officials repeatedly tried to have the restrictions lifted, the Icelandic government refused to modify them until the racial ban was publicly disclosed in late 1959. Even after the practice came to light, it took another several years before the ban was gradually eliminated. Misguided though the Icelandic restrictions may have been, they did, paradoxically, help to defuse domestic opposition to Iceland's pro-American foreign policy course and thus preserved the country's role in the Western alliance.
