Abstract
This chapter starts out by outlining the transformation of Danish foreign and security policy that has occurred since the end of the Cold War in order to put the Danish contribution to the Libya campaign in perspective. It then proceeds to explain Denmark’s political rationale for contributing so quickly and heavily to the bombing campaign, and why the operation was so popular. The third section analyses the nature of the Danish contributions both civilian and military, the fourth analyses the Danish achievements and lessons learned, and the final section assesses the campaign’s implications for Denmark’s future policy.
