이 지도가 좀 더 자세한 듯 합니다.

Analyzing this map must begin with a disclaimer:
This is, first and foremost, an analytical tool and a means of thinking about Europe’s future.
It is explicitly not a prediction of what Europe’s borders will look like in the future.

The map identifies areas in Europe with strong nationalist tendencies.
Those regions with active separatist movements are not italicized.
The italicized regions are those demanding increased autonomy but not independence.
In many of these regions, secessionist movements may be favored by a minority of the population.
The point here is not their size, but rather that in all these regions,
there is some degree of national consciousness that is dissonant with the current boundaries of Europe’s nation-states.

The European Union is a flawed institution because its members could never decide what they wanted it to be.
The EU is not quite a sovereign entity, but it claims more authority than a free trade agreement.
European nation-states gave up some of their sovereignty to Brussels… but not all of it.
So when serious issues arose (such as the 2008 financial crisis or the influx of Syrian and other refugees),
EU member states went back to solving problems the way they did before the EU.
Instead of “one for all and all for one,” it was “to each their own, but you still have to buy German products.”

Brexit shook the foundations of the EU in 2016.
Elections in France and Germany and domestic instability in Italy will shake those foundations in 2017.
But Brexit also opened the doors to a deeper question:
How will national self-determination be defined in the 21st century?
Not all of Europe’s nation-states are on stable ground.
The most important consequences of Brexit may end up being its impact on the political future of the United Kingdom.
And in Spain, Catalonia already claims it will hold an independence referendum this year.

Brussels, meanwhile, keeps trying to speak with one voice.
This map communicates just how hard that is… not just for the EU, but also for some of Europe’s nation-states.
