Abstract

This policy report aims to provide the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs with an
overview of major trends in the geopolitics of the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) and an analysis of the impact these trends may have Danish foreign policy.
The report consists of a short introduction in which we provide our key arguments,
an introduction of the main priorities of Danish foreign policy in the MENA region, a
short overview of the major trends in the current crisis that most directly influence
Danish foreign policy options, and finally, a series of suggestions on how Denmark
could adapt its foreign policy engagement in the region.

Our analysis draws on insights and ideas generated during a research project funded
by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and implemented by the Danish Institute for
International Studies. During the project, we have been in dialogue with relevant staff
from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the corps of Danish ambassa-
dors to MENA. We also exchanged viewpoints with a number of Danish and interna-
tional experts on MENA during a conference and series of roundtables in Copenha-
