How Permeable or Impermeable Could Be the Borders? Introduction

Summary/Abstract: The continuous evolution of the European unity process allowed one of the most important results of this unique economic, social and political experience that is now the European Union, a result that consists in the more and more increasing permeability of the national frontiers. Year after year the process of the opening of the national borders represented the basis of an increasing movement of economic goods, capital and, in the end, of different European citizens. Hence, the Europe of the post-communist period, especially the last decade Europe, was a more opened and a more dynamic one, both from the economic and social perspective. The economic and the social side of the European dynamism influence each other, and together they exert a fluctuating influence on national decision-making processes.
