Summary
Europe has been unable to haul itself out of the doldrums wrought by the 2008-09 global financial crisis. In addition to economic stagnation and high joblessness rates, immigration from poorer to richer countries has led to social tensions, made worse by a new influx of refugees fleeing Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Meanwhile, after decades of dormancy, anti-Semitism appears to be on the rise again. The 28-member European Union (EU) has responded to the economic malaise by bolstering its fiscal authority, but that has provoked a backlash from critics who believe national governments -- and not the EU -- should set policy. In such a climate, far-right, anti-immigrant, anti-EU and even neo-Nazi political parties have been gaining eyebrow-raising victories at the ballot box. At the same time, foreign-policy experts say Hungary, an EU member, is sliding toward authoritarianism, adding to fears that Europe is headed in a dangerous direction
