Today. however. the EU is confronting its most serious crises. which collectively threaten the future of the European project. These threats to European cohesion are both internal and external. between north and south and east and west. as well as within and outside individual member states. First. the refugee and migrant crisis today consumes policymakers in Brussels and across Europe. Tensions have grown among member states on the right approach to accepting them. as more than 1 million entered Germany alone in 2015. with the prospect of more in 2016. The heated debate within the Union on how to deal with the crisis has called into question the ability of Brussels to enforce commitments by its member states on borders.
