The European Disunion

The EU is under siege. The arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria has tested the single-border principle at the core of the union.

The survival of an EU with a single border, a single currency, and a stable membership appears less likely than ever before.
