Over the past few years, the European Union has suffered through a cascading set of \ncrises. The sovereign debt crisis for countries in the Euro began in 2010 with the \nbuildup to the bailout of Greece. This was quickly followed by the refugee crisis, \nwhich hit the headlines in 2012, as thousands fled conflict in Syria and poverty in \nAfrica. All the while, the security crisis continued, whether as a result of terrorist \nattacks, in particular since the Charlie Hebdo massacre of January 2015, or trouble in \nthe neighborhood, especially with Russian incursions in the Ukraine since 2014 and \nthe unending civil wars in the Middle East. And then there was the British vote on \nexit from the EU in June 2016, raising questions not only about the future of the UK \nbut also about the EU. Finally, let us not forget the most recent potential crisis, the \nelection of US President Donald Trump, with all the uncertainties it brings for the EU \nin terms of transatlantic relations, trade, and security
