This book explores how identities, public spheres and collective
memories are being transformed in cross-border areas, contributing
to the broad sociological context of Europeanization. Offering case
studies on the German-Czech-Austrian, and Czech-Polish-German
borderlands, the book introduces original primary data on
cross-border cooperation. This data is interpreted using the
concept of active borders, which approaches borders as a source of
multicultural competence and cognitive capacity. In turn, the
authors argue that Europeans need to treat borders, both
territorial and symbolic, as specific cultural forms. Active
borders allow an unprecedented level of cross-border cooperation
and integration, and foster a better understanding of differences,
rather than re-embedding them or constructing others. Accordingly,
the authors contend that active borders promote more dynamic, open
and resilient societies, and represent crucial prerequisites for
the success of the European integration project.
