Abstract

An extensive overview of concepts of boundaries is made in the paper. Concepts of 'natura!' versus 'artificial' boundaries are discussed. The analysis of the relation between the notions of boundary, limit and border is provided and the concept of sovereignty analysed. The investigation of the functions of boundaries are pointed to. A link is made between the concepts of the boundary and spatial barriers. The 'eros i on' of European boundaries is analysed. The processes of the liquidation of frontiers, as well as the transformation of borders and boundaries are discussed. Mai n factors of change in the functions of European boundaries are identified. The development of different types of European trans-border regions is pointed to.
