“…However, as mechanization increased, the number of Danes employed in agriculture declined, from a quarter of the workforce in the 1950s to less than three percent today. The number of farms also declined across this time period, from around 200,000 to some 20,000 but increased in size and extent of mechanization (Jespersen 2004 ). Livestock farming, notably piggeries, holds a dominant position.…”

In this chapter we take a complex systems approach to exploring the linkages among the phenomenon of urbanization, the changing value systems and world perspectives of urban dwellers, the sometimes distant connections to the food production systems that support cities, and the often invisible ecosystem services that support food production and in turn are affected by food production.After we explore the relationship between a range of ecosystem services and their relationship to food production, we present three cases of economically developed cities that secure their food from global sources. The wealthy urban populations in all our three case cities adhere to the highly commoditized systems of industrial production based on energy-and material-intensive external inputs for the bulk of their food provision. Fully integrated into the global market, trade enables these cities to both consume and produce what their consumers desire without regard to the local capacity of ecosystems in the regions around the cities.

“…Copenhagen quadrupled in population to over half a million people by the end of the period. 8 Families from well-to-do backgrounds would often send their children on tours of Britain, while some Danish companies had employees trained in the UK: it is therefore not likely that one single person, British or Danish, introduced association football to Denmark. 9 Part of what made Denmark and a logical location for early continental forays amongst British clubs, in fact, was its easy access from Edinburgh, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Hull, and the northeast coast of the UK.…”

“…It would not be an exaggeration to talk of a whole philosophy of life, tightly linked to being Danish and a particular Danish way of doing things. 19 This national Danish narrative of course dominates at the expense of other possible narratives. Ove Korsgaard writes that after the 1864 war, Danish historians engaged in an ''active and conscious effort in a politics of remembrance,'' instigating a new version of history in which Denmark had for centuries been a coherent power with a rich national history.…”

This article examines the population of the Danish welfare state as an affluent middle class that demarcates itself in relation to a foreign proletariat within a global, neoliberal division of labor. Drawing on Slavoj Ž ižek's psychoanalytical conceptualizations of nationalism, it traces relations between Danish nationalism and the xenophobic blaming of foreigners for structural threats to continued Danish affluence and the welfare state. The article then shifts to a discussion of the dialectical relationship between the nation-state and capitalism in securing the Danish middle-class status in a global, neoliberal world order, and suggests that the threat to the Danish welfare lies not in multicultural pressures but in the simultaneous desires to open Danish borders for surplus extraction and to close them for foreigners. This article ends with a discussion of new perspectives on cohabitation and equality beyond state borders.
