BETWEEN FRONTIERISATION AND BOUNDARISATION Abstract The main dimensions of border studies in European border studies include phantom borders, geopolitical boundaries, internal Schengen frontiers and external Schengen boundaries. They have been identified as a result of applying various scales/levels of analysis and the time-analysis perspective. They also constitute the main determinants of further development of the field, as well as an accurate classification of the dimensions in border studies. Key words: border studies, frontierisation, boundarisation, phantom borders, geopolitical boundaries, internal Schengen frontiers and external Schengen boundaries. 1. Introduction A look at the evolution of the political concept of the border – from tribal borders through the Roman limes, the medieval rule of loyalty in exchange for land, to imperial, national and power-political borders – shows change- ability over time [12, pp. 243-253]. Similarly, further academic reflection in this field has gone through successive stages where researchers have focused on various dimensions of the concept of borders. What dominated until the 1950s was mainly the historical-geographic approach and attempts at devel- oping its typology. Then the focus shifted to the functional dimension of borders and a better political understanding of them. Since the ’80s, research has examined territorial identities, geographical approaches, social representation of borders and finally the ecopolitical dimension [14, pp. 608-610]. The revival of border studies over the past twenty years was brought about by its increasing analytical and practical importance. In both cases the weight placed on the concept is largely down to security consider- 7 Issue 2. 2014 ations, ongoing ethnic-territorial conflicts/collaboration and – finally – maritime issues [7, pp. 654-659]. At the same time, however, it is be- lieved that borders are a hangover from the past and their change – not only of their outer limits but also of their importance, form and understanding – is seen as interference in the past, which in turn affects the present [17, p. 8]. 1989 saw a significant watershed in border studies, in changing both the interest in borders and the approach to this concept. Regarding the former, new developments in the area of border studies gave rise to a lively academic debate on the matter. The latter was deeply rooted in the specific circumstances under which borders changed following the fall of commu- nism. While the ‘border revolution’ after World War I and World War II was conditioned by the will of the victorious powers (who as a result of peace conferences or political alliances shaped the borders of European nations), after 1989 the new political order was established from the bot- tom up (the winners did not impose their will) [17, p. 9]. The aim of this paper is to present the dominant research tendencies in border studies within the European context over the last two decades. It sets out to identify the determinants of developments in the field and how the dimensions of border studies could be classified. The thesis acknowl- edges the key influence of two factors: the scale/level of analysis and the time-analysis perspective. Methodologically, the paper is based on a com- parative analysis of various studies within the field of border studies. It needs to be stated that the intention was not to elaborate an exhaustive de- scription and explanation of all the research dimensions of the area in question, but rather to outline the most significant tendencies in its further development. 2. Border legacy and border reality – between boundarisation and frontierisation As regards European borders, the last twenty years have been marked by two contradictory tendencies. On the one hand, some existing borders are being delegitimised, as occurred in the countries which arose from Yu- goslavia’s ruins, former Soviet republics, etc. [17, p. 10]. First and fore- most, it is the effect of kindling, or rekindling of ethnical and cultural nationalisms seeking to review the territorial order, whereby political and national borders do not overlap. On the other hand, however, borders are 8 Public Policy and Economic Development being devalued, as a consequence of greater European integration and the lesser clout of nation-states, which in turn, in some cases, also leads to attempts at revising the territorial order. It manifests itself in the separatist tendencies displayed in Scotland, Catalonia, Flanders, etc. [17, p. 10]. Both the above-described processes are linked to the concept of the frontier and boundary as the two basic manifestations of a border. In practice, in the process of delimitation they may take the form of boundarisation (when the border corresponds closely to the boundary) or frontierisation (when the border only resembles the frontier). To understand the essence of a border and the processes behind its change, the boundary-frontier division needs careful consideration. A boundary is a mainly legal concept which separates state structures [17, p. 8]. Boundaries then are “sharply drawn lines that mark the limits of authority and ownership (…), marked, and managed, sometimes loosely and sometimes strictly in accordance
