ABSTRACT
The article reports that the question of Europe's borders has become the subject of debate in the European Union. The collapse of the Berlin Wall forced European Commission officials to consult atlases to find places about which they knew little. At stake in the debate about the enlargement of the European Union into the post-Soviet east is whether Western values will take root in those countries or whether they will challenge the values and democratic ways of Europe.
