Approaching borders and frontiers: notions and implications

Abstract
Never as much as today has a multidisciplinary approach been necessary, given the growing attention paid by the EU Member States to migration and border management, particularly regarding the fight against illegal migration and the reinforced control of the external borders of the EU. By drawing on the insights of various disciplinary approaches to borders and frontiers, this overview sets out to analyse the manifold implications that reinforced border management and controls may have on state-to-state relations, territorial integrity and sovreignty, cros-border mobility, society and `borderlanders'.
