First published in 1986, Denmark seeks to show the way in which
modern Denmark, with its high standard of living, its sense of an
orderly society, and its tolerance, had emerged and been shaped
since the beginning of the 19th century. It traces its political
history, the emergence of political parties and the protracted
struggle for parliamentary democracy in the face of a king
determined to appoint his own ministers. It looks at the
determination of the Danes after the financial repercussions of the
Napoleonic wars and the territorial and economic losses resulting
from the Schleswig-Holstein debacle in 1864 to win through and
recoup their losses. Social changes are described in some detail,
particularly in the twentieth century and attention is paid to the
workings of the Danish welfare state. Appendices trace in broad
outline the historical relationship between Denmark and its former
colonies of Greenland and Faroe Islands, now both self-governing
territories. This book will be of interest to students of history,
geography, political science, sociology and cultural studies.
