| Abstract: | Reporting from a comprehensive study on Danish academic and public debate on European human rights law, this article examines how the legal community of Denmark reacts emotionally and ideologically to legal integration in Europe. It is argued that the somewhat heated debate reflects points of instability within the social class of Danish jurists engaged in a hegemonic struggle to construct or sustain positions of power during the change of a national legal system. |
