The European Union and Border Conflicts: The Impact of Integration and Association (EUborderconf) The project seeks to understand whether and how the EU, through integration and association, can help to transform the nature of borders from lines of conflict to lines of cooperation.
This three-year research project funded by the European Union's Fifth Framework Programme with co-sponsoring from the British Academy has come to its end in 2005. We hope that you will be able to benefit from the results of our research presented on these pages! We will continue to update some of them as appropriate.
