Denmark: Between Atlanticism and Europeanism in the 21^st Century

The balance between Atlanticism and Europeanism in Denmark's foreign and security policy is analyzed by studying the external factors influencing the formation of these trends. The country's Foreign Policy and Security Strategies for 2022 and 2023, the EU Council Presidency Program for 2025 are studied and the transition from the "super-Atlanticism", typical for Denmark in recent decades, to a more restrained policy in relations with the United States is revealed as well as the increased attention to security and defense cooperation within the European Union. The conclusion is that in the foreseeable future, Denmark will remain firmly committed to Euro-Atlantic security and NATO, but will strengthen its presence in the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy projects.
