Description for Frontiers of the European Union
Hardback. This work is a comprehensive analysis of EU frontiers, their variety, functions and future. It examines sovereignty, culture and language, globalization and European integration. There is a case study to examine local and regional perspectives, and a focus on the EU eastern frontier. Num Pages: 243 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1QFE; JPSL; JPSN2. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 227 x 148 x 21. Weight in Grams: 440.
Based on original research this book is a unique attempt at a general assessment of EU frontiers. Internal frontiers are losing some of their key functions but there are many responses to the new situation, as a case study of French frontiers abundantly illustrates. An examination of the EU external frontier shows that the EU is acquiring some state-like features, but the eastern frontier provides abundant evidence of the external frontier's complexity. The authors conclude that the increasing openness of national frontiers will continue, but their effective abolition, whether by European integration or through 'globalization', is improbable.
