Course objectives
The aim of this summer school is to discuss, in the light of current developments, the perception of borders in Europe today and whether the borders between Old and New Europe are really gone. It will be done on a multidisciplinary basis, by conceptualizing and analyzing border (un)making as a historical, political, legal, socio-economical as well as mental phenomenon.
Syllabus
  • Among the issues and questions which can be addressed are: What are the forms and functions of borders? Did the perception of borders shift over time? What new divisions can we witness in Europe today? What are the implications/consequences of these new divisions? Are these divisions serving some (specific) political interests? How does gender, ethnicity or historical memory contribute to border (un)making? How successful is the process of the re-establishment of the rule of law, democracy and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities, in New Europe?
Literature
  • Study materials will be handed over to the students before and during the course.
