While the EU has been successful in its aim, yet challenges to its integration project are numerous. The global economic crisis of 2008 that spiraled into a sovereign debt crisis in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal was followed by a political crisis in Ukraine in 2014, the refugee crisis in 2015, and finally, the British referendum to withdraw its membership are few of the challenges that the EU is facing.
