Mobility Regimes and Borderwork in the European Community

Anne Jensen

Mobilities, 2013, vol. 8, issue 1, 35-51

Abstract: With changing forms of mobility governance in the EU and borderwork as its point of departure, this article examines how borderwork and mobility interweave in a European Community context and, in particular, how mundane politics of mobility co-shapes the borderwork that takes place in contemporary Europe. Borderwork is thus addressed in terms of multiplied processes of differentiation. Pricing policies as key components of the governance of transport flows in Europe influence the way the European Community is formed as an 'imagined community' and a territory criss-crossed by connected cities and regions. Furthermore, pricing policies add to intangible borders between the highly mobile Europeans who master complex mobile practices and those without access to the high mobility networks or are slow-moving.
