Abstract
The theoretical approach of the past chapter frames the European Union on neofunctionalist foundations, which must evolve to a network society based on the complex interdependence imagined by the neoliberals. Moreover, given that recent events have proved that territory is still important in international relations and politics, the European Union must pay attention to it as well, especially considering its uneven development. Even so, society and space have been in constant evolution in the past seven decades, which determined the transformation of Union frontiers as well.
