MoHoTalks #11 – Mikaa Mered, Geopolitics Lecturer and Teacher
What is the current geopolitical situation in the Arctic and Antarctic? What are the challenges and opportunities of these territories? What actors are present in these geographical areas and what is the role for France and Europe? Ice melts on both sides. But the stakes are not the same. What is the impact of global warming on the Arctic and Antarctic? How are they protected? The Arctic is a major issue for Washington, so ensuring its security is a critical national security issue. Why did Donald Trump propose to buy Greenland? triggering a diplomatic crisis with Denmark.
“Between majesty and melting ice, preservation and militarisation, strong desires and fragile governance, the polar worlds present strategic dilemmas that are not well known but omnipresent in current events.” Very few states have a bipolar view of the polar issues.
Hello Tommorow, Makesense, Schoolab, Maddyness and Sogood invite Mikaa Mered, professor of pole geopolitics and author of the book “Les Mondes Polaires» to take the floor to answer all these questions about these geographical areas that have become a real economic Eldorado for companies but also for the major political powers.
