  • Pedestrian Border Crossings
    Pedestrian border crossings Diagnosis, arguments and recommendations Krzysztof Mrozek The Schengen area is based on two principles: 1) the internal borders between members of the Schengen zone are open with no border checks, customs control or external borders and 2) the gateways to the whole Schengen area are protected by state-of-the-art infrastructure and the well-trained border police of border countries, coordinated by the Warsaw-based EU agency FRONTEX. The functioning of the EU external border is regulated by the Schengen Borders Code, which entered into force in 20061. Out of approximately 9,000 kilometres of the total EU external land border, 1,163 kilometres are in Poland (33% of the Polish land border). Keen on maintaining good relations with its neighbours who are not EU members, Poland is a frontrunner in streamlining cross-border traffic and implementing new technology and means of border controls, including pedestrian border crossings. An ongoing refugee crisis in 2015 puts under question not only the effectiveness of the EU external borders, but also the future of the Schengen area as such. Nevertheless, current challenges should not be an excuse for only maintaining them secure but not making them more friendly for travellers. Poland has been a part of the Schengen zone since 2007 and its citizens have therefore already got used to the fact that crossing borders with other EU countries is just like crossing from one voivodship to another. It is easy to not notice the signs on main roads informing us about crossing national borders. There is no border or customs control, no queues and no “ants”2.

The thesis concentrates on the interaction between the major Western states (France, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States) inside the broader Western institutional framework (looking in particular at NATO, the European Community, European Political Cooperation and CoCom). It assesses the impact and relative importance of the various Western institutional networks and of longer term conflicting Western aims in Poland for the success and failure of coordination.
