Abstract

The Commission ultimately threatened to take Denmark to court for breaking not only Schengen but also the European Union's rules on free movement. [...]the whole dispute enjoyed massive media coverage internationally. A simple Google search for the words 'the Danish Schengen crisis' shows just how much attention the debacle attracted in the international media, with no less than 767,000 hits.10 The present analysis will be centred on a rather detailed analysis of what actually happened in Danish politics when the Danish border control agreement was negotiated, but it will also focus on the strong reactions from Germany, the Commission and the broader international environment.
