The collapse of the Soviet Union has had profound and long-lasting
impacts on the societies of Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and
Central Asia, impacts which are not yet fully worked through:
changes in state-society relations, a comprehensive reconfiguration
of political, economic and social ties, the resurgence of regional
conflicts "frozen" during the Soviet period, and new migration
patterns both towards Russia and the European Union. At the same
time the EU has emerged as an important player in the region,
formulating its European Neighbourhood Policy, and engaging
neighbouring states in a process of cross-border regional
co-operation. This book explores a wide range of complex and
contested questions related to borders, security and migration in
the emerging "European Neighbourhood" which includes countries of
the Caucasus and Central Asia as well as the countries which
immediately border the EU. Issues discussed include new forms of
regional and cross-border co-operation, new patterns of migration,
and the potential role of the EU as a stabilizing external force.

While moving across borders has been made easier for some in Russia
in recent years, for others, physical as well as socio-cultural
borders are proving to be more and more difficult to cross.
Tackling the differences between the ways in which official
discourses construct borders and the ways people who live there
experience them in their everyday lives, this book uses innovative
theoretical approaches and empirical work with young North
Caucasian migrants to explore issues of identity, citizenship,
exclusion and belonging. The Chechen war, terrorist attacks and
confrontations between Caucasian migrants and local residents have
served as touchstones for intense public debates about who belongs
in Russian society and who does not. Young people of North
Caucasian origin are experiencing the effects of such debates as
they learn to negotiate and maintain their identities in an
environment in which they are defined as a threat to national
security whilst simultaneously being pressured to align with core
civic values of the state. This book reflects on the notion that
the cultural borders, which define civic liberties and people's
right to belong, are increasingly being defined within society, and
not by the external borders of states.
