In this article for the GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, Tobias Lenz looks at the European Union as a model for other regional organisation against the background of Brexit, the migration crisis, and the uncertainties around the common currency. He suggests that while these crises have tainted the EU’s success, predictions of its demise are premature. The notion that regional cooperation can help nation states to secure peace and enhance economic prosperity is still most prominently embodied by the European Union.
