The paper is based on first results of the EUBORDERSCAPES project supported by the 7th European Framework Programme and revisits a number of major themes and concepts that have been important for the development of border studies in recent years. It also investigates emerging research perspectives that appear to be important drivers of conceptual change from the perspective of human geography. The authors stress that the present state of debate indicate that contemporary border studies question the rationales behind everyday border-making by understanding borders as institutions, processes and symbols. A particular attention is paid to the process of reconfiguring state borders in terms of territorial control, security and sovereignty and to the nexus between everyday life-worlds, power relations and constructions of social borders.read more
