后冷战格局变化中的欧洲难民危机

Abstract:The 2015 European refugee crisis is a result of the changing political pattern in the MENA in the post-Cold War era. From the perspective international politics，such a change is linked directly with the United States’ radical democratization policy in the Middle East after 2003 and with the European Union’s inadequate capacity to maintain the stability of MENA. After the upheaval in the Middle East，the EU countries lost their “North African barrier”，whilst the Islamic religious extremism is spreading in the Middle East，resulting in a large number of illegal immigrants and refugees flowing into Europe. Under the impact of the influx of refugees，the EU is rethinking its MENA strategy and endeavors to establish a more equal partnership with the MENA countries. After the terrorist attacks in Paris，France and the other EU countries turned to combating religious extremism as their primary strategic objective towards the Middle East，which will promote the multi-polarization process in this area，and Europe may thus become the “third force” after the US and Russia in the Middle East.
