Babynina L.O. Denmark and the European integration processes: how to solve the “integration dilemma”?

Abstract: the article analyzes the relationship of Denmark with the European Economic Community, the reasons for entry into it, and especially participation in the EEC/EU. Particular attention is paid to the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty in Denmark and providing the country a number of exceptions from the general rules of the EU. Denmark had the opportunity not to participate in the four areas of cooperation: European citizenship, the European single currency, European defense and cooperation on justice and home affairs at EU level. Author considers how these exceptions affect the position of countries within the EU in practical and political terms. Saving the “Danish reservations” reduces the impact of the country in the EU, but allows it to save more autonomy within the framework of European integration. This “integration dilemma” is constantly on the agenda of the Danish government. Currently, Denmark is an active debate about the possibilities of withdrawal of some reservations, which is certainly in the interests of the country.

Keywords:

history, Denmark, European integration, European Union, the Maastricht Treaty, “the Danish reservations”, the Lisbon Treaty, integration dilemma, the referendum, the European single currency.
