Borders

From Geography

"Borders define geographic boundaries of political entities or legal jurisdictions, such as governments, sovereign states, federated states and other subnational entities." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border) The actual impact of borders defers from the importance of a border. For example: The outher borders of the European Union are harder to cross en than borders between countries located within the European Union. Closely linked to this is the immigration policy.

Terms that are closely related to border is borderland and cross-border-region
