Scandinavia eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration migratory movements cultural exchanges and war. The Boundaries of Europe edited by Pietro Rossi is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.
