Danish Aid Policy in the Post-cold War Period: Increasing Resources and Minor Adjustments

This chapter considers some of the main features of Danish aid policy in the period following the end of the Cold War. The exclusive focus on this period is not based on an assumption that there was a radical break in policy between the Cold War era and the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Rather, to the contrary, Danish aid policy is characterised by a continuity which is quite remarkable, bearing in mind the dramatic effects that the end of bipolarity had on a number of other international issues and fields of policy.
