Description - Geopolitics of European Union Enlargement by Warwick Armstrong
State borders and border regions have become increasingly important in the current era of accelerated globalization, transnational integration and international security concerns. Borders are at the heart of recent discussions about the geographical extension of the EU and the constitutional form a more politically unified Europe might take. In this book the authors build up an integral picture of borders and borderlands to reveal the processes of re-bordering and social change currently taking place in Europe. They explore issues such as security, immigration, economic development, geopolitics and changing social and political attitudes, as well as the EU's relations with Islamic world. Using a variety of disciplinary, ideological and theoretical perspectives, the book features three very detailed case studies on different types of external and internal European borders. They examine a range of concerns from the viewpoints of local people to the geo-political concerns of the state, supra-state and the larger strategies of the EU.
Making an important contribution to our understanding of European integration and border studies, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of politics, geography, international studies, sociology and anthropology.
