    Europe Unbound provides an analysis of the enlargement of the European Union and examines from both a theoretical and a political approach issues such as:
    * Where does Europe end?
    * Should Europe's borders be open or closed?
    * How does the evolution of territorial politics impact on the course of European integration?
