ABSTRACT
Borders and border regions are in a state of flux in post-Cold War Europe. The East-West divide does not exist any longer in the form of the clear-cut Iron Curtain, separating two security blocs, two politico-economic systems, and two ideologically and culturally distinct worlds. Its aftermath, more blurred in appearance, is conceptualized in terms of many, partly overlap ping processes. Globalisation, integration and regionalization are some of the key words in the current debates on the dynamics of the European scene.
