Social Borders at the Edge of EU. Canary Islands, Réunion, Guiana and Azores

Summary/Abstract: Maximum current topic in ultra-contemporary epoch and especially within the EU, the issue of borders is approached from numerous perspectives. The present study allocated space only to the social dimension of them. Our interest focuses over some of the most distant spaces of the EU, and we refer to four autonomous provinces: the Canary Islands, Réunion, the Azores and French Guiana. We presumed that each of these Outermost Regions represents a social group with certain traits that make distinctions among them, but the differences also approach them to other social spheres, especially to the proximity. Our major objective is to demonstrate how these outermost regions fall within social borders category, highlighting their potential in relation to the global sphere.
