Stranger. An IAPASIS and EURONAT Seminar
At border checkpoints, political and military power merge and the state monopoly of violence is made evident to those who intend to pass and those just standing by. There, the territory is demarcated, and this demarcation is enforced; enlightenment ideas of universal freedom and equality are shattered, and there is little rational justification for why the jurisdiction of one state should end and another begin. Why not one or twenty meters to the right or left? The seminar series at EUI 2001-2002 organized by James Kaye, Willfried Spohn, Bo Stråth and Anna Triandafyllidou was a forum for the EU framework programme projects IAPASIS and EURONAT.
