'Borders' have attracted considerable attention in public and
academic debates in light of the impact of globalisation and, in
Europe, the end of the divisions of the Cold War era. Instead,
being inside or outside of the EU has become a major paradigmatic
divide between claimed 'spheres of influence' by 'Brussels' and
'Moscow' respectively. In the aftermath of the end of communism,
established certainties no longer seemed to apply. And this
included many of the borders within the former eastern Bloc, with
some losing their relevance, while others re-assert themselves. As
its particular contribution, this book adopts a symbiotic approach
to the analysis of borders, drawing on a political-economy
perspective, while also recognising the importance of the
socio-cultural dimension as found in 'border studies'. This seeks
to do greater justice to the complex, composite nature of borders
as geo-political, state-legal and cultural-historic constructs in
both theory and practice. In addition, the book's approach
stretches across spatial scales to capture the multi-level nature
of borders. The first part of the book presents the conceptual
framework as it sets out to embrace this multi-faceted,
multi-layered nature of borders. In the second part, case studies
from north-central Europe, including the Baltic Sea Region,
exemplify the complexity of borders in the context of
post-socialist transformation and continuing EU-isation.
