TI  - How to ‘get to Denmark’: An assessment of Denmark as an economic model for developing countries
AB  - The social cohesion of Denmark,  embodied  in  its  strong  tradition  of  rural cooperation,   has   often   been   promoted   as   a   model   for   successful development. Francis    Fukuyama (2011) described    the    issue    facing developing  countries  as  the  problem  of ‘getting  to  Denmark’,  a  metaphor for a society characterised by good governance, the rule of law, and related virtues  leading  to  wealth  and  prosperity. But  can  and  should  developing countries  aspire  to  ‘get  to  Denmark’? This briefing analyses  the  economic development  of  Denmark  through  history  and concludes  that  the  lessons from Denmark have been misunderstood.
