Different Risk Perceptions in Denmark and Why

Submitted by Henning on

 Risk is a man made calculation based on facts of costs (input) and profit/casualties (output) by acting. Here three types of risks are identified: A political, military and a public risk approach. The political risk perception is the international security or risk situation of Denmark defined by politicians. The military risk perception is that of Danish Army senior officers deployed in the IFOR/SFOR multinational mission in Bosnia from 1996 to 1999.
