European Union boundaries have always been unusual. In no other
political community is both the prospect of enlargement and the
ever-present possibility of withdrawal part of the constitutional
framework. We find few other instances where some territories in a
political community adopt a common currency while others do not.
Examples of thick association agreements, such as we find between
the EU and third countries like Switzerland and Norway, are
uncommon. Over the last number of years, EU boundaries have been
challenged like never before. Brexit poses a fundamental threat to
the EU's territorial integrity and the rights of EU citizens to
cross what have been regarded as open borders; the refugee crisis
and the increase of terrorism both call into question the EU's
ability to justly and effectively manage its external borders; the
rise of populism is a direct challenge to internal free movement as
the demand to reassert national borders becomes formidable; while
the aftermath of the euro-crisis continues to put Monetary Union in
doubt. By distinguishing between three categories of boundary
change - boundary-making, boundary-crossing and boundary-unbundling
- the authors in this volume attempt to shed light on the
sustainability and legitimacy of Europe's boundaries in question.
The chapters originally published as a special issue in the Journal
of European Integration.
