Rome (1957) – Schengen (1985) – Maastricht (1992) –
Lisbon (2007). More than 60 years after the signing of the
Treaty of Rome, those events seem to be distant memory when
looking at the political developments of recent years. The
European Union actually faces its biggest crisis and it
seems that the vision of a Europe peacefully united in
tolerance, democracy and humanism is vanishing.
In this context, border education gains in importance in
particular in teacher education. The present volume
considers different concepts, positions, and perspectives on
issues of border studies in various different European
countries.
Olivier Mentz is Vice-President of the

Hans-Peter Burth is Associate Professor of Political Science
and Civic Education at the University of Education
Freiburg.
