Difficult questions concerning the internal and external frontiers
of the EU have emerged since the changes in the European political
landscape after 1989. Dismantling controls at the frontiers between
member states envisaged by the Single European Act and 'Europe
1992' has encountered difficulties and complications. An increase
in the geographical extent of the Union, with the inclusion of
Austria, Finland and Sweden, and the possible location of the
external frontier further to the East have added to uncertainties
about the future direction of the EU. Managing the external
frontier has become increasingly complex.
This volume analyses the cultural, political and legal
consequences of dismantling controls at the internal frontiers and
of measures to harden the external frontier. Among the central
issues considered are the progress towards a European identity and
changes in political identities within the EU, the extent to which
the internal frontiers have become different in kind from the
external frontiers, and the varying ways in which frontier issues
are posed in different parts of the Union. These issues will
profoundly influence the development of the European polity.
