Instead of uniting, Europe has been splintering into smaller and smaller states and there are still groups (i.e. Basque seperatists) who are pushing to divide Europe even more. Failing economies will help to increase the process of seperation as national economies collapse and different regions decide to seek their fortunes as a seperate entity.
