Cross-border Cooperation at the EU Internal and External Borders
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 21
Abstract
Europe has seen several changes in the positions and interpretations of state borders ever since her birth. Calculating with 51 countries located in Europe, we may establish that state borders are interpreted in as many as 102 ways. Some see the border as a success, and some see it as a limit. Some understand it as a perfection, while others understand it as a scar. Some say borders either encourage or block co-operation. It all depends on the circumstances and potentials that accompanied the birth of the state’s borders. The European Union with its border policy endeavours at healing the scars and strengthening the perfections. The legal settlement of cross-border issues and the financial assistance provided for the improvement of cross-border relations lead to the successful management of borders along the internal and the external borders of the European Union.
