This chapter presents results from a project about leadership in Greenland. It discusses how leaders in Greenlandic organizations legitimize decisions in territories of interactions. The research focus on how Greenlandic leaders at times are challenged by the tight relationship in the small society but also how the tightness supports close and fruitful interactions where leaders qualify and legitimize decisions related to quality, business development, and future actions. The findings demonstrate how the leaders legitimize actions and decision in their local networks and how this relates to and develops their everyday practice.

Ledelse og samarbejde diskuteres i artiklen som en kollektiv aktivitet i organisationer i Grønland. Med udgangspunkt i empirisk materiale indsamlet i 2018 og 2019 beskrives problemstillinger som ledere genkender og formulerer. I analysen diskuteres hvordan ledelse fremstår som en kollektiv aktivitet, at problematisering er en væsentlig del af ledelsesaktiviteten og hvordan ledelse udvikles i interaktionsterritorier.

I artiklen formuleres fem spørgsmål, der kan være relevante at stille i forbindelse med ledelsesaktiviteten, ikke mindst i den særlige situation organisationer befinder sig i lige nu med COVID-19 forebyggelsen. Herudover konkluderes det, at der fortsat er behov for at udvikle den produktive ledelsesaktivitet igennem akademisk ledelsesuddannelse.

This chapter reviews historical and contemporary processes of state-sanctioned resettlement and urbanization in the Greenlandic context, with a particular focus on the consequences of passive and overt urbanization policies on geographies of homelessness.

This report details the findings of the EQUIL project: Equality in Isolated Areas. The project focuses on people living and working in geographically relatively isolated areas of the Nordic region, and asks how they are able to make a living and maintain ties to locality, and how questions of gender equality impact on work and family life decisions. The report addresses the questions: How is gender equality and equal participation in paid work and care for the family negotiated in communities characterised by relative geographic isolation? How do people develop working life strategies in such places? What is the basis for future work life and family life in the selected places?
