| The European Union (EU) has expended considerable effort to achieve economic and political integration and expansion, yielding notable results. However, recent developments, including political, inancial, and regional crises; the migration issue; the rise of populist rhetoric; and the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, have intensiied debates about the EU's core values and perspectives. The future of the EU is currently being discussed through a series of scenarios, including maintaining the status quo, deepening integration in certain countries, and complete disintegration. Document analysis was utilised as the research method for all aspects of the study, and data were obtained from literature reviews and oficial reports. Consequently, the challenges confronting the European Union were examined through the lens of potential scenarios and rationales. The analysis concluded that the future of UE is uncertain. |
