Hybrydowość granic Unii Europejskiej w środowisku międzynarodowym
Hybridity of Borders of the European Union in International Environment

Summary/Abstract: The border is a key element in the security strategy of the state. The EU as an entity of inter-national relations has contributed to a qualitative change in the essence of state borders. On the one hand, it takes into account the role of border in organizing the legal systems of sovereign states, and on the other “detaches” borders from their territorial dimension. The idea of borders within the European Union matches with the concept of the hybrid structure of the EU itself. They are a unique phenomenon in international law with no equivalent in any other current integrating structure. EU borders are a hybrid form of their traditional perception form the state perspective and they are characterized by heterogeneity, variability and high sensitivity to the turbulence of the international environment.
