%X Abstract in English Although Denmark, as a small-state actor, has an interest in global IT security and clarity of international norms in cyber space, this article argues that it is not in Denmark¡¯s interest to pursue a ¡°Digital Geneva Convention,¡± the proposal currently being put forward by Microsoft. Starting negotiations on a comprehensive digital convention would risk reopening already concluded international agreements and undermining on-going, non-binding negotiations. It also overlooks the gains that states¡¯ security apparatuses legitimately pursue in cyberspace. This, however, does not mean that a small state like Denmark should stay passive in the field of international cyber politics. On the contrary, the continuing political uncertainty in cyberspace provides small states with the possibility of ¡°punching above their weight¡±. Prioritizing Danish cyber engagements in the EU, NATO, the UN and in non-governmental fora as well as enhancing cooperation with the private sector in both Denmark and internationally, would strengthen Denmark¡¯s political profile internationally and security in cyberspace more generally
