| Description | The determining factor whether a country could be considered as a part of the larger geopolitical entity, in this case Europe, is not only its geographical location, but also the solidarity of the population of the country with the idea of such an affiliation. Norway successfully applied for the membership of the EEC already in 1961 referred to the article 237 of the Treaty establishing the EEC where is quoted: "Any European State may apply to become a member of the Community." Thus was Norway clearly specified as European state. Nevertheless, do the Norwegians feel themselves as part of Europe? Where do they see Europe's borders, and where do they assign their country? The conference paper will focus on building and the removal of borders in Europe and the two the perceptions of belonging to the geo-political or cultural-historical entity. |
