Implications of EU Enlargement for Border Management and Citizenship in Europe

Abstract

The process of repositioning European borders in the context of EU enlargement confronts the theory and practice of defining 'European citizenship'. This paper examines the deterritorialisation of the EU's external and internal borders through an analysis of the immigration laws of Poland, Romania and Bulgaria which have all been recently modified in order to meet the requirements of the Schengen aquis. Clear lines of continuity can be traced between the externalization of border control through visa policies or readmission agreements and the internalization of borders resulting from institutions which define the legal position of aliens such as expulsion or administrative detention. I will argue that the transformation of European borders creates a system of 'differentiated' memberships which questions the normative assumption that post-national communities are potentially inclusive.
