description: Greater economic and intellectual openness has been central to human development. It has been one of Europe's fundamental strengths since the Age of Enlightenment. However, many Europeans now view contemporary European discourse as being overly dominated by the limits and borders of Europe. In this book, Dr. Olli Rehn - a member of the European Commission responsible for enlargement - demonstrates his strong commitment to building the European Union of tomorrow. Rehn argues that, instead of limits and borders, Europeans should be thinking in terms of the future "frontiers." Borders are restrictive, constraining actions that reduce influence. Rehn reasons that focusing on "frontiers" will free minds, stimulate action, and increase influence.
