Sweden's Refugee Crisis

Sweden, a historically welcoming country to asylum seekers, faced a crisis beginning in 2015 when over 160,000 people sought asylum within the country. The massive influx of refugees, negative international press, and concerns of the Swedish publics prompted Sweden to pass immigration restrictions. Sweden needed to maintain its image as a humanitarian and social welfare leader in the face of this crisis. To do this, Sweden used strategies from the Image Repair Theory in its official communications.
