Cel The problems and potential for change in Europe\\\'s borders and borderlands are pivotal to, and goocindicators of, the obstacles and possibilities of European union enlargement and integration. The socio-economic characteristics of a borderland are determined by the political, economic a social characteristics of the neighbouring countries sharing the same border. It represents a d I resonant medium, which both connects and separates the different countries. It is often a conflict-rich environment regardless of its location. The aim of the project is to compare selected border areas which include an already-established intimae-EU borderland on the Irish-northern Irish border an three Hungarian borders representing transitional types, moving from EU-extremely to EU-intimae (Austria-Hungary), from non-EU to intimae-EU (Slovakian Hungarian), and non-EU to extremely-EL (Ukrainian Hungarian). These four cases provide a good basis for investigating the processes of thee\\\'s \\\'deepening and widening\\\'. The study is based on empirical surveys using qualitative a quantitative methods, including the statistical and GIS analysis of census data on both sides of theborder.
