The term "border" is characterised by its complexity in connection with its linguistically ambiguous character. The work analyses the concept of the border under a multidisciplinary approach. All eight contributions are based on two approaches: internationalist political science theory on the one hand and social sciences on the other hand. This work has an entirely new, diversified methodical approach. It offers added value for the traditional approaches of political sciences and international relationships regarding the term of "border", in which the multidisciplinary perspective is supported. This approach permits integration of development of this concept and shows that several shared properties exist in spite of the different areas.
In this anthology, the authors examine how cross-border regions emerge and what characterizes them. The practices of institutional participants and border area residents in the fields of the labor market, economy, political cooperation, media, everyday life and culture will be analyzed and discussed.
