No full textThroughout the first decade of the 21st century Denmark was one of the most active countries, relatively speaking, in wars on terror and other interventions. Denmark has been on the front line in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it flew a large number of bombing missions in Libya in 2011 when the United States was looking for reliable allies to step forward. Denmark is an unlikely activist, though, from a historical perspective. Denmark's tradition - which continues to define important parts of its strategic culture - is neutralist. Denmark used to have reservations within NATO; today it has a defense optout in the EU. Its recent culture of activism thus represents an uneasy blend of neutralism and strategic engagement whose fate remains uncertain. The author is grateful to Berit Kaja Børgensen for unsurpassed research assistance and to Jakob Henius, Peter Viggo Jakobsen, and Jens Ringsmose for insightful comments.</p

Equalisation and Local Taxation in Denmark, Norway and Sweden
No full textEducation is one of the most important services provided by public governments in almost every country worldwide. However, the most important cross-country observations about education ? like the PISA report by the OECD or the TIMSS by the IEA ? focus only on international benchmarks to compare the knowledge capacity of pupils. This paper provides a general overview of the different forms to finance education in the framework of intergovernmental transfers as well as educational providers in ten European countries. We observe the educational system in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom and point out the similarities and national distinctions in the respective transfer system regarding education financing or the allocation mechanism for primary and secondary schools as well as universities.Fiscal Federalism, Grants, Fiscal Autonomy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden

This is followed bu a conclussion in which it i.a. is stated, that the proces of Europeanization has streangthned the Dansh regions within Denmark, and that the regions do nt have any federal aspirations
Immigrants in Denmark: Access to Employment, Class Attainment and Earnings in a High-Skilled Economy
No full textThis study examines employment access, class attainment, and earnings among native-born and first-generation immigrants in Denmark using Danish administrative data from 2002. Results suggest large gaps in employment access between native-born Danes and immigrants, as well as among immigrant groups by country of origin and time of arrival. Non-Western immigrants and those arriving after 1984 are at a particular disadvantage compared to other immigrants, a finding not explained by education differences. Immigrants are more likely to be employed in unskilled manual jobs and less likely to be employed in professional and intermediate-level positions than native-born Danes, although the likelihood of obtaining higher-level positions increases as immigrants’ time in Denmark lengthens. Class attainment and accumulated work experience explain a significant portion of native-immigrant gaps in earnings, but work experience reduces native-immigrant gaps in class attainment for lower-level positions only. The Danish “flexicurity” model and its implications for immigrants living in Denmark are discussed
