Abstract

After the World War II, international organizations and international alliances began to develop vigorously as institutional designs for maintaining peace and promoting development. Among them, European integration is the most successful model of regional inter-governmental cooperation, which covers political, economic, security and other fields. But since the 21st century, facing the global economic crisis, refugee crisis, COVID-19 and so on, European integration has been greatly challenged by populism and conservatives. Relations among its members also tended to falter, culminating in a 2016 British referendum to leave Europe. Based on the theory of international cooperation, international institutions, and complex interdependence in the neoliberalism, this paper uses the case analysis method to review the history of European integration and the challenges brought by the European debt crisis, the coronavirus crisis and the Brexit. Based on the existing theoretical results, this paper puts forward a future development model of differential disintegration, and deepens the cooperation with external actors in order to realize the further development of European integration.
