the seventeen years of its existence. Such a list would in fact
be a panorama of the more or less important events of those
crowded years. It is, however, worth while to emphasize that the
editorial policy of the magazine has always been to avoid super-
ficial and sensational presentation on the one hand and on the
other to give thorough treatment in an easily readable style to
all subjects found worthy of space in the quarterly. Detailed
indexes make it easy for those who consult the periodical to
find the questions they are particularly interested in.
The great majority of the articles in 0konomi og Politik
are written by Danish experts but sometimes the editor turns to
foreign writers for special features. This is almost always the
case with the surveys of economic conditions in the other Scan-
dinavian countries, and the quarterly has also brought original
articles by American, British, Dutch, French and German writers.

Politik has included a comprehensive supplement, “Denmark dur-
ing the War,” which has furnished readers with detailed accounts
of the economic and social measures made necessary by the extra-
ordinary conditions prevailing here.
The Study Groups
The main objects of the study groups are to train university
students, especially historians and economists, in the handling
of source material of modern international relations and to ac-
quaint them with the development in various foreign countries
during the 1920S’ and ^os’. Among subjects already treated can
be mentioned: The Peace Conference at Versailles; The German
Social-Democratic Party, 1914—19; The Political Parties during
the German Revolution, 1918—19; German Foreign Policy in
the 1930S’; Abessinian Problems; Franco-Italian Relations, 1914
—39; Anglo-French Relations, 1919—39; The Origins of the
World War, 1914; Problems of the Pacific; Internal Problems
in China and Japan; National Minorities through the Ages; French
Internal Problems and Home Politics, 1871 —1940.
Although the group method has been especially used for the
study of international political relations, it has also been employed
on several occasions for research in Danish history and in modern
economic policy, Danish as well as foreign. Such were, for ex-
ample, studies of Danish internal policy, 1830—48 and Danish
