Aktivistisk med forbehold? Danmark, EU og den amerikanske verdensorden

I hvilken grad og hvordan kan dansk europapolitik tolkes som aktivistisk? Dansk europapolitik er karakteriseret ved stor kontinuitet med en kombination af pragmatisk interessevaretagelse og forsøg på dagsordensættende indflydelsesmaksimering på udvalgte værdipolitiske områder. Samtidig er europapolitikken overraskende aktivistisk i betydningen en strategisk, selvstændig og dristig politik, der aktivt sigter mod at fremme danske interesser via politiske og diplomatiske kanaler. Med udgangspunkt i en neoklassisk realistisk forklaringsmodel viser artiklen, hvordan dansk europapolitik formes i samspil mellem en liberal global orden med USA som dagsordensættende for Danmarks sikkerhedspolitiske stabilitet, en forhandlet og institutionaliseret europæisk orden, hvor magtpolitikken føres med diplomatiske fremfor militære midler, og en dansk liberal-egalitær europapolitisk kultur, der udgør den prisme, som reflekterer de globale og europæiske incitamenter. Dansk europapolitik formuleres af danske beslutningstagere som en nødvendighedens politik, men dette udelukker ikke en aktivisme, der ofte fremstår som dristig i sin udfordring af den dominerende tysk-franske forståelse af EU’s betydning og fremtid.
