National Strategies in the Integration Dilemma: An Adaptation Approach

Author

  • Nikolaj Petersen

Abstract

The article attempts to fill a lacuna in integration theory by developing a theory of national integration policy. It argues that integrating states face an integration dilemma, which they handle by various coping strategies. The article applies adaptation theory to explore these strategies and the general policy modes in which they are embedded. It argues that balancing, i.e. a ‘give and take’ approach, is the most likely policy mode, but that other defensive or offensive strategies may also be used. The argument is illustrated by an analysis of Denmark’s integration policy.
