Europe is facing today an internal crisis combined with an external crisis: the simultaneous implosion of its neighborhoods, East and South. The migrations wave of unprecedented scale revealed different perceptions, responses and divides within the EU. It also prompted a debate about its implications for security (after Paris and Brussels) and the capacity of European societies to integrate migrants of non-european background. Beyond the humanitarian response the migration wave has become a catalyst for the re-definition of the European project.
