“…Trust towards neighbors is especially important both for promoting cooperation and for establishing informal ties, as it contributes to overcoming differences and even conflicts that may include territorial tensions and disputes. At the grassroots level, social integration occurs easily between neighbors with higher levels of trust [Nye 1990;Rippl et al 2009]. On the other hand, large socio-cultural dissimilarities result in mental borders that have a negative impact on cross-border interactions [Houtum 1999].…”

With the increase in cross-border educational contacts thanks to the Internet, the importance of obtaining objective, rather than stereotypical, ideas about foreign countries and their citizens by young people increases.One of the several contributory reasons of choosing university students as a target group for our research is the fact that education is closely tied to a nation’s growth and development, which strengthens social cohesion and the active civic participation of the youth. Also, the reason for focusing on students is that it is presumed that university students (future university graduates) would, perhaps inevitably, have firsthand connection or experience with political matters in the future, and so they will influence their country’s future politics and international relations in the Asia Pacific Region.The main aim of this study was to examine the changes in public perceptions and attitude of Japanese and Russian students towards the other country from 2007 to 2021. This study does not concentrate on political developments, but assesses changes and variations in students’ perceptions, images, and attitudes towards Russia and Japan over the 15-year period, seeking to identify the key events that inspired the identified perceptions and reactions. The surveys of Japanese and Russian university students conducted from 2007 to 2021 serve as the empirical basis for this study.In recent decades, images of countries have attracted close attention of scholars from around the world. When we launched the study, to the best of our knowledge, there were no other long-term studies that investigated these topics among this target group. This paper aims to fill this scholarly gap in literature by exploring and discussing the above-mentioned topics.

“…Border areas are often described as "laboratories" for European cohesion, as places where European policymakers can experiment (KEG 2009: 15;Rippl et al 2009). Sometimes they are also called "petites Europes," where processes of change common to all of Europe can be seen taking place on a smaller scale (Luschny 2009: 28).…”

This fascinating volume could not have come at a more apposite time than the present, discussing as it does, the politics, perception, permeability, vulnerability and philosophical nature of territorial borders in the modern world. It comprises 12 distinguished essays set mainly in the European context and resulting from a Franco/German scholarly collaboration which is wide-ranging, elegantly written and sustained by multi-disciplinary scope, profound insights and understandings.Border studies as an academic discipline have emerged only in recent years, prompted perhaps by the fall of the Berlin Wall, rapid globalisation and the expansion of the European Union (EU). Whilst we have conventionally thought of borders as territorial lines drawn between nation states and other political entities, modern political forces have made them increasingly permeable for people, goods, capital, ideas and co-operative ventures. On the one hand they have lost much of their salience as separators and dividers, often becoming the sites of political co-operation and cultural interaction; on the other hand they create uncertainty about the destabilising effects of economic competition, migration and multiculturalism.It is not without significance that within days of this volume appearing, a deep crisis in Ukraine was caused by the determination of President Putin of the Russian Federation to manoeuvre a redrawing of his border, leaving Ukrainian politicians under threat of armed force. This was followed immediately by the EU signing an Association Agreement with the residual Ukraine government, and with Moldova and Georgia, none of whose past is a particularly shining example of democratic practice. Since the EU is not a state and does not therefore have a 'foreign policy', the danger of actions of this kind is that all 28 member states of the EU have become involved in potential confrontations over which they have very little influence.Differing contributors to this volume sometimes reach contradictory conclusions. Some emphasise the decreasing significance of borders within the EU and the abolition of border controls as the notion of 'borderless Europe' represented by the Euro-zone, the Schengen area and moves towards completion of the single market, all adding to the process of integration. Others, however, describe attempts to tighten its external borders as having a 'barrier function', keeping out illegal immigrants, criminals and unwanted goods.However, with the creation of the EU's European Neighbourhood Policy, several contributors stress that cross-border co-operation is seen as a means to lessen the separating effect of the external border: 'Quite clearly, contradictory processes have been set in motion' (25).The reader is left with the clear impression of inconsistency, confusion and lack of cohesion in the deepest recesses of EU policy-making, which, the editors argue, parallels the contradictory theoretical positions in EU border studies. They go on in the early chapters to review the current state of academic work in th...
