From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danish foreign policy is founded upon four cornerstones: the United
Nations, NATO, the EU, and Nordic cooperation. Denmark also is a member of
the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; the World Trade
Organization (WTO); the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE); the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD);
the Council of Europe; the Nordic Council; the Baltic Council; and the
Barents Council. Denmark emphasizes its relations with developing nations
and contributes 0.8% of GNP to development assistance.[1]

In the wake of the Cold War, Denmark has been
active in international efforts to integrate the countries of Central and
Eastern Europe into the West. It has played a leadership role in
coordinating Western assistance to the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and
Lithuania). The country is a strong supporter of international peacekeeping.
Danish forces were heavily engaged in the former Yugoslavia in the UN
Protection Force (UNPROFOR), with IFOR, and now SFOR. Denmark also strongly
supported American operations in Afghanistan and has contributed both
monetarily and materially to the ISAF. These initiatives are a part of the
"active foreign policy" of Denmark. Instead of the tradtional adaptative
foreign policy of the small country, Denmark is today pursuing an active
foreign policy, where human rights, democracy and other crucial values is to
be defended actively. In recent years, Greenland and The Faroe Islands have
been guaranteed a say in foreign policy issues, such as fishing, whaling and
geopolitical concerns.
Following World War II, Denmark ended its two-hundred year long policy of
neutrality. Denmark has been a member of NATO since its founding in 1949,
and membership in NATO remains highly popular. There were several serious
confrontations between the U.S. and Denmark on security policy in the
so-called "footnote era" (1982-88), when an alternative parliamentary
majority forced the government to adopt specific national positions on
nuclear and arms control issues. The alternative majority in these issues
was due to the fact that the Social liberal Party (Radikale Venstre)
supported the governing majority in economic policy issues, but was against
certain NATO policies and voted with the left in these issues. The
conservative led Centre-right government accepted this variety of "minority
parliamentarism", i.e. without making it a question of the government's
parliamentary survival. With the end of the Cold War, however, Denmark has
been supportive of U.S. policy objectives in the Alliance. Denmark is not a
member of the Western European Union but does hold observer status |
