History of the Council of Europe

75 years of co-operation

By: Birte Wassenberg

Immerse yourself in the history of the Council of Europe, from its creation in 1949 to the challenges it has to address today. This comprehensive book traces the development of this pioneering and emblematic organisation and invites you to discover the key moments and challenges it has faced. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe was established in Strasbourg with the objective of promoting and safeguarding human rights, democracy and the rule of law throughout Europe. It has created a common democratic and legal area by drawing up more than 200 conventions covering all aspects of daily life. At its heart is also the European Court of Human Rights, guardian of fundamental freedoms and a flagship institution whose judgments are binding on the member states. Find out more about the Court’s landmark decisions, major reforms and how it has responded to changes in society. The Council of Europe has forged close ties with the European Union, working in tandem on many projects to strengthen justice, safety and human rights. This work analyses the complementary and competitive nature of this strategic partnership and the expectations around it. Throughout the history of the Council of Europe, there have been many great achievements but also crises and controversies. This book provides a detailed analysis of the turbulent times the Organisation has faced, from integrating new members to dealing with internal challenges, political pressures and external conflicts, and delves into the strategies it has adopted to address them. History of the Council of Europe, 75 years of European co-operation is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the development of this key European institution, its achievements, trials and tribulations, and the impact it has had on Europe and its people. The author: Birte Wassenberg is Professor of Contemporary History at the Institute of Political Studies (IEP), University of Strasbourg. A graduate of the College of Europe, she holds a Jean Monnet Chair and is Director of the Franco-German Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. Her research focuses on border studies and the history of European integration.

Borders and Border Spaces in the EU Volume 2

European Border Perception from a Comparative Perspective

By: Birte Wassenberg

Which are the perceptions of the border in European border regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic? This Cahier Fare n°25 presents the results of the Jean Monnet Network “Frontières en mouvement: quels modèles pour l’UE (FRONTEM)?”, which was supported by the EU’s Erasmus+ program for the period between 2019-2023. The network exchanged knowledge and practices on five different types of EU border perception: at the border between France and Germany, at the border between France and Belgium, at the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, at the border between Rumania and Hungary and at the border between Denmark and Germany. By analysing the results of focus groups organised in and mental maps drawn for each of the 5 border regions concerned, it critically examines the perception of the border as a place of cross-border reconciliation, of minority co-existence and of peace facilitation. The key question addressed by the network was to assess the mental perception of the border when faced with processes of re-bordering and the re-questioning of the model of a “Europe without borders”.

Cross-border Circulation and Networks in the European Space

By: Birte Wassenberg

This publication is an attempt to enlarge the perspectives of Contemporary European Border Studies both temporally and epistemologically. Border studies in Europe are indeed still largely focused on the analysis of cross-border cooperation and its relationship with the process of European Integration after the Second World War. What is generally missing is a long-term historical perspective and the consideration that circulation and networks can also be built across borders because there is a community of ideas or a shared good to defend : a common scientific culture, health, environment.

Borders and Border Spaces in the EU Volume 1

European Border Management from a Comparative Perspective

By: Birte Wassenberg

How to manage borders in European border regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic? This Cahier Fare n°24 presents the results of the Jean Monnet Network “Frontières en mouvement: quels modèles pour l’UE (FRONTEM)?”, which was supported by the EU’s Erasmus+ program for the period between 2019-2023. The network exchanged knowledge and practices on five different models of EU border management: the border between France and Germany, the border between France and Belgium, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the border between Rumania and Hungary and the border between Denmark and Germany. By analysing the results of research seminars and focus groups organised in each of the 5 border regions concerned, it critically examines best practice management models of cross-border integration, of minority management and of peace facilitation. The key question addressed by the network was to assess the role of the border in the process of European integration when faced with processes of re-bordering and the re-questioning of the model of a “Europe without borders”.
