2. Refugee crisis in Europe continued, populism rose
2.欧洲难民危机持续发酵，民粹思潮抬头
The huge influx of refugees has caused social issues in a number of European countries, prompting members of the EU to tighten refugee policies. In May, the EU Council allowed some countries within the Schengen Area to extend internal border control. In October, the European Commission proposed extending the measure. In December, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi resigned after a major constitutional referendum failed. Meanwhile, populist parties such as the National Front in France and the Alternative for Germany are gaining popularity around Europe.
大量难民涌入欧洲造成社会问题，欧盟各国纷纷收紧难民政策。5月，欧盟理事会允许部分申根区国家延长临时边境管控。10月，欧盟委员会提议继续延长该措施。12月，意大利宪法公投失败，总理伦奇辞职。同时，法国国民阵线、德国选择党等民粹主义政党的民众支持率不断上升。

7月，韩国宣布计划部署“萨德”（末端高空区域防御系统）。在此前后，朝鲜两次进行核试验。从3月起，日本实施新安保法，通过新版《防卫白皮书》，增加日本自卫队海外操作和区域范围，这意味着日本抛弃了和平宪法。
