At the same time, despite the environmentally-friendly nature of Greenland's energy programs, the potential influx of oil and mineral resource corporations poses a threat to the nation's environment.

The Monroe Doctrine, often perceived as a founding policy of American diplomacy, influenced not only international relations but also internal domestic politics throughout the 19th century, complicating America's relationship with the notion of "empire," Oxford University history professor Jay Sexton said to a crowd of students and professors on Thursday in Carson. An ongoing struggle against the British Empire, the centralization of the union and American imperial expansion which included "the continental empire and the way that American power was projected informally outside the nation's borders" defined America during the 1800s, Sexton said. The Monroe Doctrine, "an elastic, elusive and shape-shifting creature," can be used as a vehicle for exploring the ways in which American statecraft was a product of internal pressure to keep the nation unified in addition to external processes, he said. "It's misleading to refer to [the Doctrine] in the singular," as conflicting pro-slavery, anti-slavery, expansionist and anti-expansionist movements interpreted it in different ways, according to Sexton.
