ABSTRACT

This article examines the mechanism of local border traffic (LBT) at external borders of the European Union (EU) and Schengen Area in the Baltic Sea region (BSR) from the point of view of the paradigm of constructivism. The LBT mechanism is an example of the practical application of constructivism: the goal of LBT is to stimulate cross-border cooperation (CBC) in its various dimensions. As a result, new interests and new identities may develop in border areas. This study proved that the greatest opportunities for shaping relations between societies and states in BSR are in the Polish–Russian, Norwegian–Russian, and Lithuanian–Belarusian borderlands.

摘要

本文从建构主义范式的角度考察了欧盟（EU）和波罗的海地区（BSR）申根区外部边界的本地边界交通（LBT）机制。小比特机制是建构主义实际应用的一个例子：小比特的目标是在各个维度上刺激跨境合作（CBC）。因此，边境地区可能会产生新的利益和新的认同。这项研究证明，在 BSR 中塑造社会和国家之间关系的最大机会是在波兰 - 俄罗斯、挪威 - 俄罗斯和立陶宛 - 白俄罗斯边境地区。
