Summary:

Of interest to students of international policy, this collection of thirteen articles on border policies in the European Union examines policy and practical realities of major issues relating to external borders and trans-border policies. The work is divided into sections covering theoretical aspects of borders and integrations and their methodological implications, and neighborhood policy, governance, and security issues, and individual essays address topics such as neo-functionalism and the construction of the EU's external borders, EU external policy on Eastern European immigration, promoting stability and the rule of law in the Balkan border states, and Turkey, Central Asia, and energy policy. Contributors are primarily academics in political science and related fields from European institutions. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
