In this respect, the political attacks on Denmark are of a piece with the subway bombing in Spain, car-burning riots in France and the 7/7 bombings in London.
It shows that Denmark is at the beginnings of a war, and the disappointing reaction of Europe’s governments, the UN and our own State Department should prove to the Danes that their viability as a nation state depends on their ability to hold their fort alone.
Denmark’s physical security therefore necessitates that its frontier be secured and the number of potent hostiles within the country kept to a minimum.

First, where most of the deregulating and liberalizing governments of the 1980s were conservative, except for Denmark these countries had left wing governments during the 1980s, and in Denmark the conservative government was strongly influenced by the Social Democratic Party.
As in Denmark, this decrease partly reflects 'flattening the hierarchy,' as the federal government is largely involved in planning and funding programs which state level employees actually carry out.
Further centralization is hampered by the existence of factional fights inside the ALP akin to those in the coalition in Denmark, and to divisions between the Ministry of Finance (responsible for budgetary matters) and the Treasury (responsible for economic advice and monetary issues).
