Denmark and the European Union [Paperback]

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

• 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.
