The Borders of the European Union (EU): Internal and InternationalDimension (1992- 2014)By: Waad Hassan Deeb AlfararjahSupervised by Prof. Aziz HaiderThe question of the unity and the borders are considered one of the greatestissues that provoke a debate inside and outside the European Union (EU),especially on the opportunities for new accession. This dissertation seeks toinvestigate on the intersection between two main concepts, firstly the ideasaffecting the changes of the EU borders in regards to the ‘Schengen’ conceptand plan, in which resulted in borders abolishment, consolidation andreintegration. Secondly, to investigate on the role of the EU policies to achievea union among the EU member states, highlighting on the position held by someexperts towards Turkey as a bridge to the Middle East.This dissertation aims to analyze, compare and underline the borders of Europe,the geographic borders that had been dividing Europe, and the role of the EUin unifying Europe both in drawing new borders, and "eliminating" thegeographic borders will be scrutinized. The difference between the internal andexternal borders of the EU will be discussed to reveal the impact of bordersabolishment designed by the Schengen stipulation, as well as to elaborate thephrase migration and how it affects the EU external borders. Further, therelationship between the EU and the new candidate countries will behighlighted, while attention is drawn to the limitations of accepting newmembers like Turkey.Moreover, this study presumes that the more the EU is expanded, the harder itwill be to unify it. For widening, or expanding the borders, implies integratingnew countries in the EU, which becomes more diversified as a result, and thus more difficult to integrate new member countries to the EU. Further, the studypresumes that deepening the integration entails an increase in the criteria of theEU institutions (i.e. the body of European law) which makes it more difficultfor countries to meet the set criteria and makes it harder to unify.Overall, a historical, descriptive and analytical approach has been applied onthe issue of the EU borders.The study has found that the process of unifying Europe has been a difficultprocess, particularly due to key differences among various state members,where each state has its own agenda, political and economic views and culture.Although, the EU has achieved a lot, yet there are many restrictions andobstacles that procrastinate further integration.First, the introduction of the single passport where people are able to movefreely all over Europe is restricted, for example, the family, culture, languageand curriculum. It is true that the EU eliminate the internal borders, but thereare still many barriers that need to be eliminated.Second, the EU opens its external border in front of the immigrants under thecondition that they fulfill the criteria of migration. However, there are manyobstacles that may delay further policies and increase the EU fear of acceptingimmigrants, for instance, the increase of the unemployment rate, the existenceof the extremist political ideologies which were born and emerged in theMiddle East, such as ISIS that is threatening the EU stability and unity.Third, the discussion of new candidate countries to the EU is limited; whereand which there are several limitations of accepting new members such as,Turkey. This study reveals that the candidate country needs to fulfill all therequirements and prerequisites determined to join the EU by the union. Yet,however, the accession is selective, where the EU in some cases goes beyondthe laws and rules of accession for a political reason, as it is the case with the ex-communist countries that joined the Union though they did not fulfill theCopenhagen criteria. The EU might also open its arms to integrate with Ukraineeven though Ukraine is still far from fulfilling the standards of accession.
