Over the 19th and 20th centuries, the political map of Europe
changed considerably. At the end of this period, there were
remarkably contrasting tendencies concerning the functions and
densities of borders. The borders inside the European Union lost
their importance, whereas Central and Eastern Europe saw the birth
of a multitude of new state borders. The long-term study of border
regions, therefore, is a relevant subject for geographers,
historians, social scientists, and political scientists. The main
thesis of this text is that the rise of the modern nation-state
reinforced the separating function of state borders by
nationalizing the people on both sides of them. This process gained
strength in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was
challenged in the post-war era by processes of supra-national
integration, globalization and the revolution in communication and
transport, as the case studies from different parts of Europe in
this book show.
