Among the tremendous changes affecting Europe in recent decades, those concerning political frontiers have been some of the most significant. International borders are being opened in some regions while being redefined or reinforced in others. The social relationships of those living in these borderland regions are also changing fundamentally. This volume investigates, from a local, ground-up perspective, what is happening at some of these border encounters: face-to-face interactions and relations of compliance and confrontation, where people are bargaining, exchanging goods and information, BorderlandsEuropeCase studiesRegionalismEuropeCase studiesEuropeEthnic relationsCase studiesBorderlandsRegionalism303.48/24RC 10817rvkLauth Bacas Jutta1956-1472942Kavanagh William1472943MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790681403321Border encounters3685989UNINA05403nam 2200649 450 991079690790332120230807214040.01-118-87316-51-118-70564-5(CKB)3710000000375255(EBL)1895552(SSID)ssj0001492589(PQKBManifestationID)11816043(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001492589(PQKBWorkID)11524260(PQKB)10913100(Au-PeEL)EBL1895552(CaPaEBR)ebr11032413(CaONFJC)MIL770010(OCoLC)904959424(MiAaPQ)EBC1895552(EXLCZ)99371000000037525520150331h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrEssentials of gifted assessment /Steven I.
