अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
1. What is neo-colonialism, and how is it related to the current news about Trump and Greenland?
Neo-colonialism refers to the indirect control of a country by economic, political, or cultural means, often by a former colonial power. In this context, Trump's suggestion of purchasing Greenland is seen as a form of neo-colonial posturing, potentially alienating allies and pushing them towards China, which also has economic interests in Greenland.
2. What are the key facts to remember about Greenland for the UPSC Prelims exam?
Key facts include Greenland's enhanced self-rule achieved in 2009, its strategic location concerning the Northern Sea Route (NSR), and its mineral wealth. Also, remember that Greenlanders generally oppose American rule.
3. Why is the Northern Sea Route (NSR) important in the context of this news?
China's interest in the Northern Sea Route (NSR) is a key factor. It represents a strategic encroachment into what the U.S. might consider its sphere of influence. This interest, combined with Trump's actions, could be pushing allies towards China.
4. How might Trump's actions impact the rules-based international order?
Trump's actions at Davos and his rhetoric regarding Greenland may be undermining the rules-based international order. This could lead allies to question the reliability of the U.S. as a partner and potentially seek closer ties with China.
5. What are the recent developments that make this topic newsworthy?
The recent news stems from President Trump's renewed suggestion that the U.S. could 'purchase' Greenland. This revived colonial anxieties and drew attention to China's increasing interest in the region.
6. What is the historical background of colonialism that is relevant to understanding this situation?
Modern colonialism began in the 15th century with European powers establishing control over territories in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The Berlin Conference of 1884-85 formalized the Scramble for Africa. Post-World War II, decolonization movements led to the independence of many former colonies.

उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: B
नव-उपनिवेशवाद का तात्पर्य शक्तिशाली राष्ट्रों द्वारा आर्थिक, राजनीतिक और सांस्कृतिक साधनों के माध्यम से औपचारिक रूप से स्वतंत्र राज्यों पर डाले गए अप्रत्यक्ष नियंत्रण से है। इसमें प्रत्यक्ष राजनीतिक नियंत्रण (विकल्प A) या सैन्य कब्जा (विकल्प C) शामिल नहीं है। सांस्कृतिक आदान-प्रदान कार्यक्रम (विकल्प D) आम तौर पर समझ को बढ़ावा देने के उद्देश्य से होते हैं, न कि नियंत्रण के लिए।
