What future for the concept of Borderless Europe?

The ABCD Journal is a publication issued by the Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives (CESCI) in cooperation and under the umbrella of the Transfrontier Euro-Institut Network (TEIN). The journal aims to bridge gaps in the field of border studies by linking science and development, research and policymaking, as well as theory and practice. It supports active professional dialogue on borders, cross-border cooperation and development issues through an integrated approach, with the goal of bringing together diverse, but complementary perspectives to create a dynamic, focused and richly layered discourse.
