Objective ELBORDERCONF analyses the EU's influence as a supranational organization on the transformation of border conflicts through integration and association. Border conflicts become increasingly relevant to the future of governance in the EU as the Union enlarges, making it directly involved in an increasing number of border conflicts . The project closes a gap in the literature by providing a detailed comparison of 5 case studies and developing a theoretical account of the EU's involvement in border conflicts. Its main objectives are the identification of the conditions for positive EU involvement, of the core actors and processes of border transformation, of the interplay between EU and other actors, and of early warning signs for the outbreak of violence in border conflicts. The project is aimed at both theoretical development and policy advice regarding such conflicts.
