Varða - öryggi og viðnámsþróttur reposted this
June was a whirlwind. After returning from the Faroe Islands following a successful UArctic (University of the Arctic) Congress, I had several busy, but incredibly rewarding, weeks ahead. The Institute of International Affairs at the University of Iceland (IIA) hosted a Chatham House dialogue on shifts in geopolitics, including Arctic geopolitics and the role of China in the world, with Beijing Club for International Dialogue and Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI). I was very pleased to publish a report with Silja Bára R. Ómarsdóttir for Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Nordic Countries on Iceland's changing security policy. You may find it in the comments below. Finally, I attended Varða - öryggi og viðnámsþróttur Reykjavík Security Forum, which featured valuable discussions both during the plenary sessions and in the conversations I had over coffee Now it's time for a summer break. Looking forward to what the months ahead will bring.
