The dilemmas of war
Can we create peace with weapons? And what does it mean that Denmark is far more active on the international scene?
The Danish participation in the war in Afghanistan following the 9/11/2001 terrorist attack marks a clear departure from the previous 'peaceful' world order to a Denmark that is more active in international operations.
