Denmark and the European Union

Denmark and the European Union offers an accessible, coherent and comprehensive analysis of the recent, contemporary and future challenges and possibilities facing Denmark in the European integration process.

The book traces the formal as well as the informal ways of influence and adaptation in Denmark’s relations with the European Union. In doing so, it also offers a contribution to our understanding of Europe as a differentiated political arena. Topics covered include:

- Identifying the challenges and opportunities of Danish EU membership, via the policies pursued by Denmark in Europe

- The ways in which Denmark adapts to the European integration process

- Consequences of EU integration for citizen rights, democracy, policy coordination and implementation efficiency

Denmark and the European Union will be of interest to students and scholars of European Union and integration politics.
