Las contradicciones de la independencia groenlandesa

The contradictions of Greenlandic independence

Contenido principal del artículo

Alejandro Bohórquez-Keeney

Resumen

En el presente artículo se analizan las relaciones de Groenlandia, en especial su capital Nuuk, con los diversos actores que intervienen en su posible independencia, desde comunidades indígenas, pasando por empresas transnacio­nales, los Estados y las potencias involucrados, hasta organizaciones internacionales. Dichas relaciones se analizan desde la teoría de la complejidad propuesta por Rosenau, toman­do las distintas declaraciones de la variedad de actores mencionados, para así demostrar que el camino hacia la independencia groenlandesa es bastante incierto. Esta demostración se hará a partir de dos variables, una socioeconómica y otra política, para dar cuenta de la compleji­dad y las contradicciones de la independencia promovida desde Nuuk.
