Abstract
In the post-Second World War period, the Danish Social Democratic Party (SDP) has been confronted with a fundamental challenge in its relationship to European integration: how to take part in European integration which appears to imply the curtailing of national state powers at the same time as defending state powers necessary to pursue social democratic goals, particularly the maintenance of full employment and the development and continuation of the comprehensive welfare state. This challenge, combined with the divisions which the European issue has generated within the SDP, has forced the party to adopt complex and partly contradictory policies towards the EC/EU.
