The Iceberg and the Alliance - How the Greenland Crisis Exposed the Cracks in the Western World Order

What if the biggest threat to the Western alliance isn't coming from Moscow or Beijing—but from Washington itself?

When the Trump administration demanded Greenland "for national security," the world watched what appeared to be a bizarre real estate dispute. But beneath the headlines lies something far more consequential: the unraveling of the post-World War II order, exposed by melting ice and raw power politics.

This isn't just geopolitics. It's sociology in action.

Using C. Wright Mills' sociological imagination, this analysis cuts through the noise to reveal the deeper structural forces at play: a hegemon weaponizing the very institutions it built, Indigenous peoples caught between colonial powers old and new, and an Arctic transformed by climate change into the world's most contested frontier.

You'll discover why European solidarity matters more than you think, how "securitization" turns complex realities into manufactured threats, and what this crisis reveals about the fragility of alliances we've long taken for granted.

The ice is melting. So are the foundations of the Western world order.

If you want to understand not just what is happening with Greenland, but why it matters for democracy, sovereignty, and global governance—this is essential reading.
