Europe’s New Outlook On Migrants

At a time when the world begins to witness gradual changes in the traditional world order, much of Europe is turning—according to its own definition—rightist. Until a few years ago, it vociferously extolled the virtues of multiculturalism. Strange as it might seem, several states in Europe are, of late, having a rethink about the cultural universalism they tried adjusting to but robustly prescribed it to others. Significant political quarters in Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden sound resigned to retracing their steps in the wake of a series of disturbing developments.They have unambiguously expressed consternations about “unpalatable” and “incompatible” conditions created by the influx of immigrants and refugees.
