Danish Foreign Policy Yearbook 2010
Runaway summit, financial crisis, Nordic security and defence, and an EU opt-out under stress
Danish Foreign Policy Yearbook focuses on Danish foreign policy and Denmark’s position within an international and a transnational context – at the regional as well as the global level. It presents the official outline of Denmark’s 2009 foreign policy by the Permanent Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Claus Grube, and a range of articles by foreign policy experts and researchers: - Clive Archer analyses The Stoltenberg Report on the future of Nordic foreign and security policy cooperation – this analysis has already aroused much interest in the other Nordic countries.
- Finn Østrup writes on the global financial crisis, in particular the Danish bank crisis in a transnational perspective.
- Per Meilstrup scrutinizes COP 15 on climate change, probably the largest international policy effort by a Danish government in modern history. What were the contributing factors behind the summit ending close to diplomatic chaos and deep conflicts between developing and developed countries?
- Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen and Rebecca Adler-Nissen analyse the Danish opt-out on justice and home affairs and its prospects under new conditions, inspired by the Treaty of Lisbon.
Moreover, the Yearbook presents a selection of official documents, characterizing Danish foreign policy in 2009. This is supplemented by statistics on Danish foreign policy and polls on the attitude of the Danish population on key foreign policy questions.
Finally, a bibliography offers a selection of scholarly books and articles published in 2009 in English, German or French dealing with the topics of the Yearbook.
