So first, perhaps you can say why the three of you came together to write and edit this book and how you put the project together.

Yeah, perhaps I can start out with this question, and then we can see if Ole and Ole agree on the story.

The first idea of this project came together in 2017 after I, together with Victoria Herrmann from Georgetown University, we published a special issue of the journal Politik, where all articles besides one used the securitization theory to study the international relations of the Arctic Ocean.

So this idea and this first, you could call it perhaps a pilot project, then some years later, three years later, when I had finished my PhD with the two gentlemen as my supervisors, and I continued with a postdoc at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, Well, I met the two guys and also there was this thing, Corona, which limited our social interaction.

So this was a good opportunity to both get together again and think more about how could this securitization theory be used Not just on the Arctic, but on Greenland specifically, which is a special case.

So it started as a welcome social and intellectual network in the spring of 2020.

And we invited other authors on board when Corona changed our daily routines and, as I said, limit our physical engagement to restricted social bubbles.

Mark, please.
