Bordering Europe: Boundary Formation in European Integration

EUROBORD is an ERC-funded research project that studies European integration in a bordering perspective. It analyzes the closure and control of the European Union’s internal and external boundaries since the 1980s and across a variety of issue-areas. EUROBORD aims at developing a novel dataset and theory describing and explaining the 'debordering' and 'rebordering' of the EU and its political development.
