metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article focuses on the historical development of political institutions in Denmark after
  the Second World War and their influence on foreign policy decision-making. This is in line
  with an emergent trend in the second half of the 20th century reflected in the increasing power
  of Folketing (the Danish Parliament) driven by a growing number of special parliamentary
  commissions responsible for particular aspects of foreign policy. It follows from the study that
  the political system of Denmark has been characterized by continuity, stability and predictability
  since the Second World War. The example of Danish foreign policy demonstrates that
  socio-political stability and a high level of economic development combined with an active
  multilateral diplomacy is one of the most efficient soft power instruments to enhance the international
  image of a country. The article distinguishes institutional prerequisites for this development
  based on the analysis of the political actors and their involvement in the formation
  of the foreign policy. The unique decision-making system has allowed Denmark to achieve a
  remarkable success in defending and promoting its national interests, skillfully manoeuvring
  between great powers and ensuring the continuity of its foreign policy regardless of the coalition
  in power. In spite of its relevance, there is still a gap in the studies of foreign policy of
  small states in post-Soviet historiography. The empirical base of this research is comprised of
  publications in Nordic languages as well as in Polish and Russian, collected and studied by
  the author in the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, the National library of Russia in Saint
  Petersburg, the National Library of Poland, the National Library of Iceland, and from online
  resources.
