THE BORDER MULTIPLE
Border Regions Series
Series Editor: Doris Wastl-Walter, University of Bern, Switzerland
In recent years, borders have taken on an immense significance. Throughout the world they have shifted, been constructed and dismantled, and become physical barriers between socio-political ideologies. They may separate societies with very different cultures, histories, national identities or economic power, or divide people of the same ethnic or cultural identity.
As manifestations of some of the worlds key political, economic, societal and cultural issues, borders and border regions have received much academic attention over the past decade. This valuable series publishes high quality research monographs and edited comparative volumes that deal with all aspects of border regions, both empirically and theoretically. It will appeal to scholars interested in border regions and geopolitical issues across the whole range of social sciences.

Acknowledgements
This book is the result of the conference A Borderless Europe? arranged in a collaboration between Department for Border Regions Studies, University of Southern Denmark, and the Saxo Institute, Ethnology Section, University of Copenhagen, held in Sonderborg, September/October 2010. Together with the invited keynote speakers, around 60 border scholars from all over Europe contributed to a lively atmosphere and a range of high quality workshop presentations during the 3 days of the conference. As indicated in the question mark of the conference title, discussions and presentations provided evidence and gave rich illustrations of the fact that despite discourses of a borderless world, the borders of contemporary Europe still have an impact on everyday life practices within and outside of the realms of the EU. The editors would like to thank all those who contributed to the discussions during the conference. A special thanks to Doris Wastl-Walter for her contribution to the conference as well as her comments on the books contents in the early stages of its development. In editing this volume, we are particularly grateful for the meticulous work done by Hans-Kristian Chapman Pedersen, who had the task of preparing the book for camera-ready submission. We also thank all authors who contributed to the volume, not the least for their timeliness in getting the contributions to us, including Olivier Kramsch who willingly has contributed to this volume with an Afterword. Finally, thanks go to both CEMES, Centre for Modern European Studies at the University of Copenhagen and the Department of Border Region Studies, University of Southern Denmark for covering the expenses of editing the book.
