European Union borders: The official and political boundaries of the EU, which are fluid and subject to change. These borders are not fixed natural lines but are shaped by socio-political decisions and negotiations, reflecting the evolving nature of Europe’s political and cultural identity.
Internal borders: Borders within Europe that separate member states. These borders may be less rigid due to agreements like the Schengen Area, which promote free movement and reduce physical barriers, making them more symbolic or invisible rather than strictly physical.
External borders: Borders that separate the European Union or Europe from non-European countries. These are often more strictly controlled and serve as the primary points of entry and exit, emphasizing security and sovereignty.
Border as spatial representation: The idea that borders serve as a means to classify, distinguish, and categorize geographical and political spaces. They are not just physical lines but symbols that define and organize space according to political and social criteria.
