US Fascination with Greenland in the Cold War Era

(Fully independent project, for which funding in the USA is sought by Ron Doel)

The project has the goal to investigate American military and environmental interests in Greenland. It will address this as an issue of US national security policy and explore the interplay of colony and empire in the larger context of cold war tensions. The project will be archives-intensive and include oral history interviews if possible.
