“…Whereas populist parties generally share an anti-immigration agenda, Henke and Maher (2021) do not find a consistent and distinctive pattern for their positions on European defence integration. Bélanger and Schimmelfennig (2021) observe a marked slowdown of the enlargement and association process after 2007. In the same period, the parliamentary discourse on enlargement has remained generally open and based on inclusive framesbut with a marked recent trend towards more negative positions and communitarian frames.…”

“…The contributions to this collection do not represent a selection of comparative cases designed to test the analytical framework, but explore a variety of EU bordering issues, actors and processes at different levels: the migration (Kriesi et al, 2021) and Corona pandemic crises (Genschel & Jachtenfuchs, 2021), the preferences of EU citizens in response to the migration crisis (Lutz & Karstens, 2021) and of populist parties on EU defence policy (Henke & Maher 2021), parliamentary discourses on enlargement (Bélanger & Schimmelfennig, 2021), EU regulatory agencies (Lavenex et al, 2021), and EU collective action on defence, migration and the neighbourhood policy (Eilstrup-Sangiovanni, 2021).…”

The crises of the European Union and the geopolitical shifts in its international environment have generated a backlash against the post-Cold War 'debordering' of European integration. Whereas integration theories focus almost exclusively on the EU's internal boundaries and developments, this framework paper conceptualizes and theorizes integration as a process of internal debordering and external rebordering. It sketches the history of European integration in a bordering perspective and proposes general assumptions about the EU's bordering process. Accordingly, rebordering pressures result from widening boundary gaps at the EU's external borders, exogenous shocks to cross-border transactions, growing community deficits of debordering, and their politicization. Whether external rebordering succeeds and how it interacts with internal boundary formation, depends on EU-level boundary negotiations and the relative costs and benefits of external vs. internal rebordering.

“…Warto podkreślić, że według najnowszych badań naukowych, kwestia polityki rozszerzenia także charakteryzowała się postępującym upolitycznieniem (Bélanger, Schimmelfennig, 2021;Góra, 2021). Na podstawie analizy debat PE, Schimmelfennig i Bélanger (2021) zwracają uwagę na dwie istotne obserwacje.…”

Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza transformacji stylu przywództwa głównych instytucji Unii Europejskiej (Rady Europejskiej, Komisji Europejskiej, Parlamentu Europejskiego) i jego wpływu na działania unijne, podejmowane w zakresie rewizji polityki wschodniej UE, do których doszło w następstwie nielegalnego pełnowymiarowego ataku Rosji na Ukrainę w dniu 24 lutego 2022 roku. W związku z powyższym szczególną uwagę poświęcono omówieniu kwestii ukraińskiej jako czynnika bezpośrednio wpływającego na zmianę pozycji głównych politycznych aktorów europejskich (zarówno indywidualnych, jak i zbiorowych) wobec roli UE jako siły strukturalnej w regionie Partnerstwa Wschodniego. Ponadto nacisk jest położony na główne kwestie wpływające na skuteczność procesów demokratyzacji w Ukrainie po wyborach parlamentarnych i prezydenckich 2019 roku. Kolejnym zadaniem jest ocena działań podejmowanych przez instytucje unijne w celu wsparcia procesów europeizacji w Ukrainie oraz przedstawienia możliwych kierunków współpracy w okresie post wojennym.

“…Although the European Commission has not been assertively executing its monitoring tasks and tools provided by the Schengen evaluation system (Montaldo, 2020, p. 529), it has regularly addressed the issue of rebordering and put forward several propositions, including those contained in a strategy toward a fully functioning Schengen area. Rebordering has also been discussed in the European Parliament (Bélanger & Schimmelfennig, 2021). The politicization accompanying the rebordering discourses in these supranational institutions has challenged national identities and put the issue of the integrity of Schengen high on the European agenda.…”

Internal Rebordering in the European Union: Postfunctionalism Revisited

The EU has been under severe strain as a free-travel area. The migration crisis of the mid-2010s and the current Covid-19 pandemic have exerted a negative impact on the freedom of movement in the EU and the undisturbed crossing of internal borders within the Schengen area. Direct effects and long-term consequences of the prolonged crisis have shown that the dynamics of integration, which are determined by spillover effects of transnational processes, are counterposed by a politicization of domestically-embedded issues of security governance. This assumption underpins the postfunctionalist approach to European integration proposed originally by Hooghe and Marks. The tendency towards longstanding derogations from the Schengen regime, termed “internal rebordering,” should be juxtaposed with efforts of the European Commission towards a full restoration of the Schengen area without controls at internal borders. The argument developed in this article holds that internal rebordering has been embedded in the logic of the EU as an area of freedom, security, and justice comprising the Schengen area as its territorial manifestation. The rebordering processes in the EU and in the Schengen area have questioned the principle of “constraining dissensus” underlaying the postfunctionalist approach.
