As a result, there is a significant focus on Greenland's post-colonial identity formation in relation to Denmark. However, postcolonialism often fails to take into account political, and socioeconomic factors especially, with regards to the post-colonial identity formation of former colonies. In this study, it is argued that dependency theory can provide a valuable complement to post-colonialism. Through an analysis of the effects of Greenland's political and socioeconomic dependency on Denmark, on the former's post-colonial identity formation, this study aims to provide a new perspective on how the effects of the colonial history between both countries still resonate within Greenland.
