    • Arctic Security in International Security 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)
      Peace and war in the Arctic security is driven by international systemic forces of great power conflict. Since the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) the geostrategic role of and thinking about the North Atlantic Arctic has been stable. The Napoleonic Wars, Crimean War, World War I and II and the Cold War affected the Arctic for geostrategic reasons. Current and future Arctic security reflects the postCold ...
    • Bioenergy Potential of Russia: Method of Evaluating Costs 

      An, Jaehyung; Mikhaylov, Alexey; Lopatin, Evgeny; Moiseev, Nikita; Richter, Ulf H; Varyash, Igor; Dooyum, Uyeh Daniel; Oganov, Artem; Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Paper proposes the method of evaluating costs for bioenergy supply in Russia based on energy analysis. The main deterrent factor is not as much limited resources as the marginal cost of production biofuels and the possibility of using cost-effective ways reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including capturing and carbon storage, alternative forms of renewable energy and energy efficiency and energy ...

    • Chinese tourism in the Nordic Arctic – opportunities beyond the economic 

      Jørgensen, Matias Thuen; Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-27)
      Chinese presence in the Nordic Arctic is increasing, but whereas many large-scale initiatives such as mining projects, trade deals or political alliances have yet to materialise, tourism encounters between Chinese visitors and Nordic Arctic communities are already happening. We use tourism as a lens and bring together perspectives and empirical examples from various disciplines, including international ...
    • Debating across history, theory and strategy for European science diplomacy 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-06-23)
      InsSciDE - like Horizon 2020 research in general - is strategic research, because it is fundamental research for the purpose of answering a strategic problem of the funder. InsSciDE is strategic research into how Europe (the European Union, its institutions and member states) can benefit from science diplomacy to strengthen Europe’s place in the world and improve the security and safety of the ...
    • Establishing Shared Knowledge about Globalization in Asia and the Arctic 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø; Graczyk, Piotr (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-29)
      Shared knowledge about globalization in the Arctic is driven, in part, by economic growth in Asia and by increasing interaction between Arctic communities and Asian academics, businesses, civil society organizations, and governments engaged in Arctic political, economic, and scientific development.1 Shared knowledge that is produced by Arctic communities and Asian actors is necessary for ...

Senest med Huawei-sagen, hvor Kinas ambassadør i København blev beskyldt for på ...
    • Historisk læring som struktur for dialog om det fremtidige forhold mellem Danmark og Nordatlanten 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Danmark har været statsretsligt knyttet til Nordatlanten siden unionen med Norge i 1380. Den kontinentaleuropæiske småstat Danmarks forhold til Nordatlanten drives frem af eksterne chok fra stormagtsrelationer og nationalliberale uafhængighedsidéer, der peger mod stadigt større og fuld selvstændighed for Færøerne og Grønland. Denne udvikling fortsætter ubønhørligt i et internationalt system præget ...

      This article combines History (the discipline) research with Inter national Relations (sub-discipline of Political Science, my point of departure) for transnational studies research on long-term develop- ments of transnational professional relations between the USA/ Europe and the Middle East and East Asia through missionary uni- versities. American Protestant and French Catholic missionaries ...
    • Human capital development and a Social License to Operate: Examples from Arctic energy in the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland 

      Smits, Coco; Justinussen, Jens Christian Svabo; Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-04)
      The Arctic region is opening up due to climate change, causing sea ice extend and snow cover to decrease. Over the past decade economic activities, including fisheries, shipping, oil & gas, mining and tourism have increased throughout the region. Especially the oil and gas activities are subject to public debate and attract a lot of (international) attention. Obtaining and maintaining the support ...
    • Island og Vestnorden i NATO/BRICS+ Arktis 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)
      Arktis og Vestnorden (Færøerne, Grønland og Island) afspejler historisk det internationale system og gør det også i dag. Tanken om et enestå- ende eller exceptionelt Arktis er en misforståelse, som fører på vildspor. Arktis og Vestnordens fremtidige stilling i storpolitikken kan med nogen vished forudsiges ud fra verdensordenens udvikling.

The Arctic has in the last decade received new attention from new quarters of the world, especially Asian emerging powers, which reflects climate change and power transition/globalization. The focus ...
    • Science diplomacy and the Arctic 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)
      Arctic science diplomacy historically and today illustrates the potential of science for diplomacy to maintain track two dialogue during the Russian-West crisis and for regional governance to adapt to global change of power transition from West to East with the rise of China. Arctic international politics and security reflect the international system historically and today. The region is characterized ...

    • Space Science & Technology in the Arctic: Promises of Cooperation and Development amid New Security Challenges 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-12)
      Space science and technology (S & T) holds great potential for international scientific cooperation in the Arctic, especially concerning climate change. Space-based earth observation, navigation/positioning and communication is of great value to Arctic local and indigenous communities. Space-based S & T is also a prerequisite for development of Arctic shipping and natural resources.<p> <p>At the ...
    • Transnational science Guanxi: A necessary, but insufficient, condition for Sino-Danish flows of knowledge, talent and capital in genetics 

      Bertelsen, Rasmus Gjedssø; Du, Xiangyun; Søndergaard, Martin Karnøe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Genetics is observed as a particularly active field of Sino-Danish science collaboration, brain circulation and funding. Explaining the level of activity of this scientific field is therefore valuable for understanding the conditions allowing such activity. This paper identifies Danish scientific excellence as a necessary, but insufficient, condition. This condition becomes sufficient together with ...
