Borders and Border Spaces in the EU Volume 1 by Birte Wassenberg Pdf
How to manage borders in European border regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic? This Cahier Fare n°24 presents the results of the Jean Monnet Network “Frontières en mouvement: quels modèles pour l’UE (FRONTEM)?”, which was supported by the EU’s Erasmus+ program for the period between 2019-2023. The network exchanged knowledge and practices on five different models of EU border management: the border between France and Germany, the border between France and Belgium, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the border between Rumania and Hungary and the border between Denmark and Germany. By analysing the results of research seminars and focus groups organised in each of the 5 border regions concerned, it critically examines best practice management models of cross-border integration, of minority management and of peace facilitation. The key question addressed by the network was to assess the role of the border in the process of European integration when faced with processes of re-bordering and the re-questioning of the model of a “Europe without borders”.
New Borders for a Changing Europe by Liam O'Dowd,James Anderson,Thomas M. Wilson Pdf
The "deepening and widening" of the EU has thrown its changing internal and external borders into sharp relief. This work demonstrates that borders are key spaces within which issues such as identity, memory and trust, and communication between states continue to be played out and transformed.
Cross-Border Cooperation Structures in Europe by Luis Dominguez Castro,Iva Miranda Pires,Luis V. Domínguez Pdf
Since its inception, one of the distinguishing features of the project of European integration has been the overcoming of internal borders. This aim has had one of the most remarkable outcomes in the history of cross-border cooperation, resulting in the creation of territorial structures known as Euroregions, with or without legal personality, and with substantial financial support from EU institutions. This distinctive element is characteristic of the models and achievements of cross-border cooperation in Europe and North America. At a time of reflection about the European integration model and its future, it is interesting to investigate the different aspects involved in cross-border cooperation, from a historical perspective projected onto the future. This volume looks at cross-border cooperation from a multiplicity of perspectives, examining its motivations, its actors, its inclusion in the context of international relations, its organizational models, its outcomes and its impact on labour markets, economic development, neighbourhood policies and the creation of new identities. These issues are analysed within a number of different European geographical locations, assessing how far we have come and exploring the road that still lies ahead.
Border Twin Towns in Europe by Jarosław Jańczak Pdf
The book is devoted to borders, cross-border collaboration and cross-border integration, analyzing European border twin towns and continental integration processes as a context for the investigation. Those pairings - towns located on the border and directly neighboring each other - serve as an interesting microcosm where, on a reduced scale, continent-wide phenomena can be observed and tested. Constituting on the one hand exceptions in the territorial-political development of European states, on the other phenomena typically embodying Europe's historic territorial complexity, they are often termed 'laboratories of European integration'. This means they are forerunners of continent-wide processes, where the 'European' idea is tested in micro-scale. At the same time they challenge state boundaries, still one of the most crucial elements of sovereignty, defining the shape of the nation state. The aim of the book is to draw a picture of European integration in a down-scaled perspective by testing the cross border collaboration and integration of border twin towns. The main question raised here is how the European project is implemented on borders at the local level. It is operationalized by the secondary questions: How has the European integration process reorganized the spatial-political order, based on Westphalian principles? How do border twin towns structure their mutual relations? What is the role of the historic legacies in current collaboration and integration? Why and how do the towns integrate? And last but not least, how should the newly emerged structures crossing state boundaries be governed? The author answers these questions by testing 24 border twin towns pairs in various parts of the continent.
Neighbourhood Policy and the Construction of the European External Borders by Filippo Celata,Raffaella Coletti Pdf
This book looks both backward and forward with regard to the European Union’s political strategies towards its neighbouring countries. By bringing together the perspectives of critical geopolitics, policy studies and border studies, it presents a comprehensive review of the European Neighbourhood Policy and how it impacts the ongoing construction of the EU’s external frontiers. Is the EU committed to promoting integration in a ‘wider’ European space, or is a “fortress Europe” emerging where the strengthening of internal cohesion is coupled with the militarisation of its external borders? The book aims to problematize this question by showing how the EU’s external policies are based on a mixture of openness and closure, inclusion and exclusion, cooperation and securitisation. The European Neighbourhood Policy is a controversial strategy where regionalization and bordering, homogenisations and differentiations, centrifugal and centripetal forces proceed side-by-side, in an explicit attempt to construct a selective, mobile and fragmented border. A specific focus is devoted to the diversity of geo-strategies the EU is pursuing in its neighbouring countries and regions, macro-regional strategies and cross-border cooperation initiatives as new scales of cooperation, and the role of other global players.
Old Borders - New Challenges, New Borders - Old Challenges by Jaroslaw Janczak Pdf
The aim of this publication is to reflect, conceptually and empirically, on border processes in Europe, paying special attention to the most current border-related developments, with a special focus on the processes of de-bordering and re-bordering. As the authors represent different academic centers and specializations, the volume reflects not only diverse perspectives but also has an interdisciplinary character. The book contains eight contributions and is divided into three thematic parts. The first set of chapters analyzes the borders and borderlands of the European Union, especially in the context of the ongoing changes observed in its direct neighborhood. The next group of articles deals with the regional level of border-related processes within the European Union. Finally, the last group of texts investigates border processes at the local level, analyzing border urban structures.
Cross-Border Governance in the European Union by Barbara Hooper,Olivier Kramsch Pdf
This volume attempts to draw debates on governance, at both of these levels, into spaces of cross-border regionalism in Europe today. Embodying both supra-national and sub-national dynamics of contemporary forms of governance, cross-border regions (or euregions) enable observation of the fitful progress and contradictions of the multilevel polity that is contemporary Europe. Including case studies from throughout the EU as exemplars of specific "border regimes", the volume identifies the practical and theoretical importance of governing in Europe's new cross-border territories as part of a newly reinvigorated 'regional question'. In Europe's euregions, it is argued, issues of democracy, identity, sovereignty, citizenship and scale must be rethought, when a border runs through it. This book utilises a diversity of perspectives and a range of selected case studies to examine modes of governance emerging across the nation-state borders of Europe. It will interest students and researchers of European Union borders.
Borders and Border Regions in Europe by Arnaud Lechevalier,Jan Wielgohs (verst.) Pdf
Focussing European borders: The book provides insight into a variety of changes in the nature of borders in Europe and its neighborhood from various disciplinary perspectives. Special attention is paid to the history and contemporary dynamics at Polish and German borders. Of particular interest are the creation of Euroregions, mutual perceptions of Poles and Germans at the border, EU Regional Policy, media debates on the extension of the Schengen area. Analysis of cross-border mobility between Abkhazia and Georgia or the impact of Israel's »Security Fence« to Palestine on society complement the focus on Europe with a wider view.
The Border Multiple by Dorte Jagetic Andersen,Martin Klatt,Marie Sandberg Pdf
Addressing and conceptualizing the changing character of borders in contemporary Europe, this book examines developments occurring in the light of European integration processes and an on-going tightening of Europe's external borders. Moreover, the book suggests new ways of investigating the nature of European borders by looking at border practices in the light of the mobility turn, and thus as dynamic, multiple, diverse and best expressed in everyday experiences of people living at and with borders, rather than focusing on static territorial divisions between states and regions at geopolitical level. It provides border scholars and researchers as well as policymakers with new empirical and theoretical evidence on the de- and re-bordering processes going on in diverse border regions in Europe, both within and outside of the EU.
Borders in Central Europe After the Schengen Agreement by Tomáš Havlíček,Milan Jeřábek,Jaroslav Dokoupil Pdf
This book is the result of research into the considerable impacts the signing of the Schengen Agreement has had on the border regions of the signatory, in particular the Central European internal borders. The analysis provides an in-depth look at European integration, development and perception at the state level as well as in the selected border regions of Central Europe. The book discusses results from population questionnaires in this region, and presents the most important features of development of border regions within Central European internal borders/borderlands after the Schengen Agreement. This book is suitable for students and researchers dealing with the borderlands, but also outlines sufficient information to be of interest to regional planners and policy makers.
Borders and border regions are shaped by many phenomena connected with both co-operation and conflict. The neighbourhood, cross-border contacts, illegal migration, border crossings, prejudices and stereotypes, border guards, and perceptions of borders are some of the key words that characterize the articles in this volume. The book deals with European border regions that have experienced numerous changes over the 20th century. Because of this changeable, frequently painful past, different human stories – mostly tragic or romanticized – individual and collective memories, mythologies with heroes, and divergent perceptions of history developed. Most authors in this volume deal with conflicts and co-operation that can either be remembered or forgotten.
