Political scientists from eastern and western Europe and Canada address some of the questions raised by the expansion of the European Union to the east in terms of the implications of a wider Europe and border policies. The antagonistic borders of the Cold War era are not just being moved, they say, but a whole new kind of border is being created. They ponder whether it will define a new division in Europe or will open a new avenue of opportunity and transformation for the eastern countries. Among the topics are the European Union and post-Soviet Russia as direct neighbors, the politics of exclusion and inclusion, and Latvia's accession and the Russian border.
