Inspired by theories on political decision making and the welfare state, the motives have been analyzed consuming intentional analysis as method. According to the rational choice theory, if a rational and well thought through decision was made, motives should agree with expected outcome. Furthermore, expected outcome should agree with actual consequences.... (More)

According to the rational choice theory, if a rational and well thought through decision was made, motives should agree with expected outcome. Furthermore, expected outcome should agree with actual consequences. The outcomes of the border control are therefore analyzed in this thesis using descriptive data.
Moreover, the purpose is to find an answer to why the government made the decision to reintroduce border controls in the fall of 2015, what their wanted out-come of the measure was and whether the government’s justifications agree with the outcome or not. The result of the study is a story regarding the government’s struggle with the dilemma of the refugee versus the welfare state. (Less)
