Historical
Dictionary of Denmark
by Alastair H. Thomas and Stewart P. Oakley
Book Description At different points in its history, Denmark's
boundaries have encompassed England, Sweden, West Africa, India, and the
West Indies. Despite its changing, and in the end relatively small, boundaries,
Denmark has played a much larger part in the politics of Europe than might
be expected. Additionally, through its territories (Faroe Islands and Greenland)
Denmark has managed to retain an important presence in the North Atlantic.
Today, democratic Denmark, with its thriving capital Copenhagen, is peaceful,
prosperous, and progressive. Within NATO, Denmark has contributed to peace-keeping
in the Gulf and Bosnia. The "Danish Model" of welfare gives Danes a real
sense of social security, and presents many naysayers with a provocative
example of a successfully managed welfare state. Danes have a reputation
for inventiveness and good design, whether in architecture, furniture,
or industrial design. The "Historical Dictionary of Denmark" covers the
older, more "glorious" periods when Denmark was a political and military
force in Europe. Full coverage is also given to the modern and contemporary
eras when politicians and political parties, trade unions and other organizations
have run the country. The "Dictionary" reaches well beyond politics and
warfare into the economy, society, art, music, literature, and religion.
Additionally, there is a look at the welfare state and at Danish relations
with the European Union and countries outside of Europe. Included is information
from the earliest archaeological remains of human prehistory through to
the current state of Denmark. An introduction provides a lucid overview
of Danish history and politics. A chronology, several useful appendixes,
and a substantial bibliography round out the work.
