This report develops two sets of scenarios on the future use of differentiation and flexibility in the European Union. The exercise is based on an in-depth analysis of the relevant literature and empirical evidence on scenario-planning, the forecasting and foresight of key future trends, and differentiated integration and flexibility. The first set of scenarios, ‘European landscapes 2035’, presents four narrative scenarios on future internal integration: ‘Highland Europe’ (uniform integration), ‘Mountainous Europe’ (differentiated integration), ‘Lowland Europe’ (uniform disintegration), and ‘Archipelago Europe’ (differentiated disintegration). The second set of scenarios, ‘Love thy neighbour 2035’, presents three analytical scenarios on future external integration: ‘Extended family’ (EU enlargement), ‘Close-knit community’ (external integration), and ‘Good fences make good neighbours’ (external disintegration). The two sets of scenarios offer to policymakers, experts, and citizens a useful tool to think about the future of the EU, stimulate an informed debate on desirable visions, threats, opportunities, and strategic choices, and assist the design the appropriate institutional, legal, and political solutions.
