Political and ethnic discontents focus on disputed borders, while traffickers in migrants and drugs ignore them. The EU argues that the Balkan countries should develop models of border management using its policing standards, but the region is rife with corruption and its border guards are both under-resourced and ineffective. This paper asks how and why border management in South-east Europe is developing as it is, and what this might mean for the future of Europe. Drawing on recent experiences in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia and Albania, it looks at the ways in which the region's borders are managed, and gauges the development of a consensual European approach to border security. It shows how governments and guards understand the predicament of regional insecurity, and how they respond with strategies that accommodate, evade or subvert unavoidable political pressures. 650 0 Border patrols |zBalkan Peninsula. |=^A592962 650 0 Border patrols. |=^A592962 650 0 Boundary disputes. |=^A339112 651 0 Balkan Peninsula |xBoundaries |xSafety measures. |=^A40471 651 0 Balkan Peninsula |xBoundaries |xSecurity measures. |=^A40471 651 0 Balkan Peninsula |xBoundaries. |=^A40471 651 0 Europe |xBoundaries. |=^A466929 710 2 International Institute for Strategic Studies. |=^A636157 830 0 Adelphi papers ; |vno. 371. |=^A518444 994 C0 |bERE 590 Joyner-FOR JOYNER LIBRARY HOLDINGS OF THE SERIES, ADELPHI PAPERS, SEARCH BY CALL NUMBER U162 .A3. 596 1 998 989871
