Borders and cross-border spaces are at the core of political reconfigurations in the contemporary world. The aim of this issue is to highlight the shifting, protean nature of borders in the first quarter of the 21st century through a multidisciplinary approach. The analytical approach adopted for this issue is based on a constructivist perspective that takes into account the identity anchoring produced by border situations, by linking it to political, social and cultural realities. Indeed, by being part of a territorial construction, borders help to create a sense of community and belonging, and thus shape collective identities.
The papers in this issue examine the extreme variety of borders in an uncertain international context and provide essential reflections for understanding current events related to this question. They invite the reader to (re)consider the complexity of these contact zones, which foreground a number of power relations and ideological confrontations but are also a source of cultural hope.
