Abstract

This article develops a conceptual framework for the systematic analysis of the European Union as a first step towards building a theory of the role of co-dependant border areas in regional and global context. The position of the state has changed, at the end of the 20th century, being burdened by the interdependence processes, allowing a state to reach its goals only by means of the cooperation with other states and with the other non-state actors, both at regional level and at global level. The end of the Cold War, marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall, generated the opening of the borders that was oppressed by Soviet Army. The importance of regions and the mutual communication between borders began to activate again and it created a huge window of opportunity. It is possible that the reshaping of the map had a positive influence as regional integration patterns along the lines of the post-war borders gradually appeared.Theorizing borders in regional and global context also involves an attempt to understand others concepts, such as: cross-borders, new regionalism, networking system, interdependence and transnational issues. The international actors in the contemporary international system engage themselves in different action across state boundaries.
