Abstract
Contemporary Europe is not anymore characterized by traditional National-State borders, but rather by new borders within National-State borders. These new borders arise by cultural, ethnic and religious identity claimed by national and non-national citizens who live in the same public space. Therefore, these new borders are not territorial borders, such as those, which divide a state from another, but rather identitaries borders. Though territorial borders still exist, nowadays Europe sees the process of the national state border’s weakening and of the strengthening of the identitaries borders within states. This process is very linked to globalization, which on the one hand, has brought to the overcoming territorial borders and, on the other hand, has made the local dimensions stronger.
