More recently, there are remarkably contrasting  tendencies concerning the functions and densities of borders. The  borders inside the European Union lost their importance, whereas  Central and Eastern Europe saw the birth of a multitude of new state  borders. The long-term study of border regions, therefore, is a  fascinating subject for geographers, historians, social scientists,  and political scientists. The main thesis of this book is that the  rise of the modern nation-state reinforced the separating function of  state borders by nationalising the people on both sides of it. This  process gained strength in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and  was challenged in the second half of this century by processes of  supra-national integration, globalisation and the revolution in  communication and transport, as the case studies from different parts  of Europe of this book will show. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e This book will be of interest to academics,  researchers and practitioners in geography, history, political  sciences, European studies and East-European studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401058605\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4293-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 293\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578447782028,"sku":"9789401058605","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401058605_2de71c2d-82f2-495a-90fe-455875779684.jpg?v=1775709928","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401058605","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
