When this border in 1989 lost its block-deviding role, a window of opportunity opened up for reorganizing relations between states, regions and peoples. As old borders lose their traditional importance, opportunities have appeared for the creation of new communities as well as for the disruption of old. Travel and trade patterns have changed rapidly. Processes like the enlargement of the European Union will cross old frontiers, but probably also result in new deviding lines between insiders and outsiders. Some of these deviding lines might take other forms than traditional state borders. Where should EU enlargement end? Should there be fixed and hard of flexible and soft borders? What constitutes an acceptable basis for European identity? Will there be an Atlantic front-line and a European "America Problem"? Russia and Turkey - insiders, associated partners or outsiders?
