It put advertisements in Lebanese newspapers at the height of the migrant crisis, for example, warning how tough Danish migration policies were."The goal has been to reduce all incentives to come to Denmark," says ⁠Susi Dennison, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

"The Danes have gone further than most European governments," she explains. Not just honing in on politically sensitive issues like crime and access to benefits but with explicit talk about a zero asylum seekers policy.And yet "before the 2015 refugee crisis, there was a stereotype of Nordic countries being very internationalist… and having a welcoming culture for asylum seekers," says Ms Dennison.Then suddenly the reaction was, "No. Our first goal is to provide responsibly for Danish people."

The turning-point was, she argues, also triggered by Denmark's neighbour, Germany, allowing a million refugees and others to stay in the country, during the migrant crisis."That was a political choice that had repercussions across Europe."

By 2015 the anti-migration Danish People's Party was the second biggest power in Denmark's parliament. But at the same time, the Social Democrats - under new leader Mette Frederiksen – decided to fight back, making a clear, public break with the party's past reputation of openness to migration.

"My party should have listened," Frederiksen said.Contesting international laws on asylum is a trend Denmark is establishing at a more European level, says Sarah Wolff, Professor of International Studies and Global Politics at Leiden University.

"With the topic of migration now politicised, you increasingly see supposedly liberal countries that are signatories to international conventions, like human rights law, coming back on those conventions because the legislation no longer fits the political agenda of the moment," says Ms Wolff.Despite the restrictive migrant legislation, Denmark

continued to admit migrant workers through legal channels. But not enough, considering the rapidly aging population, say critics like Michelle Pace.She predicts Denmark will face a serious labour shortage in the future.
