This project aims to examine the recent geopolitical changes in Russia's western borderland between 2008-2022. In particular, it attempts to answer the question(s) of what went wrong at the EU-Russia level and what are the consequences for the Eastern Baltic? The research will closely examine the implications of the Russo-Georgian War in 2008, the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the security challenges stemming from Syrian migration in 2015 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The conceptual framework for this research project comes from critical work in Border Studies and concentrates on the everyday processes of border-making such as border infrastructure and cross-border traffic as well as state policies of 're-bordering'. The research methodology will be qualitative in nature-combining elite interviews conducted during a period of fieldwork in the border regions of Poland and Lithuania with the interpretation of political statements and media representations, while the data collection and analysis will draw on case study research. This data will be used to further knowledge of borderlands and its people by providing new empirical insights into the evolution of the Russian-European borderland. This is particularly important in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has once again led to the borderland becoming a flashpoint of insecurity between Russia and the West.

该项目旨在研究2008-2022年间俄罗斯西部边境地区最近的地缘政治变化。特别是，它试图回答欧盟-俄罗斯一级出了什么问题以及对波罗的海东部造成了什么后果的问题。该研究将仔细研究2008年俄罗斯-格鲁吉亚战争，2014年吞并克里米亚，2015年叙利亚移民带来的安全挑战以及2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的影响。该研究项目的概念框架来自边境研究的关键工作，并集中在边境决策的日常过程，如边境基础设施和跨境交通以及国家政策的“重新边界”。研究方法将是定性的性质相结合的精英访谈期间进行的实地考察，在波兰和立陶宛的边境地区与政治声明和媒体的代表性的解释，而数据收集和分析将借鉴案例研究。这些数据将用于进一步了解边疆及其人民，为俄罗斯-欧洲边疆的演变提供新的经验见解。鉴于俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，这一点尤为重要，这再次导致边境地区成为俄罗斯与西方之间不安全的爆发点。
