当一个习惯于边界暴力变化的地区遭受新的和平分割时，会发生什么？欧盟在过去的十年里是否在其边缘建立了一个新的铁幕？《建设欧洲堡垒：波兰-乌克兰边境》从欧盟新的东部外部边界的角度审视了这些问题。自1985年签署申根协定以来，欧洲国家一直在共同努力，创造一个没有内部边界、外部边界戒备森严的领土。2004年，随着欧盟扩大到包括八个后社会主义国家--包括波兰但不包括邻国乌克兰--这些边界向东转移。通过对他们共同边界的分析，《建设欧洲堡垒》提供了一个民族志研究，探讨在扩大后的欧盟建立一个专门的、有针对性的、法律先进的边界制度对人类、社会和政治的影响。
What happens when a region accustomed to violent shifts in borders is subjected to a new, peaceful partitioning? Has the European Union spent the last decade creating a new Iron Curtain at its fringes? Building Fortress Europe: The Polish-Ukrainian Frontier examines these questions from the perspective of the EU's new eastern external boundary. Since the Schengen Agreement in 1985, European states have worked together to create a territory free of internal borders and with heavily policed external boundaries. In 2004 those boundaries shifted east as the EU expanded to include eight postsocialist countries—including Poland but excluding neighboring Ukraine. Through an analysis of their shared frontier, Building Fortress Europe provides an ethnographic examination of the human, social, and political consequences of developing a specialized, targeted, and legally advanced border regime in the enlarged EU.
