The promise of free movement

Review by Eike Klages
Cars pass through a border crossing station surrounded by forest, with signs indicating entry into the Republic of Austria and posted traffic regulations.
In Europe without Borders (Princeton University Press, 2025), Isaac Stanley-Becker explores the contested creation of free movement for goods and people in the Schengen area. Eike Klages describes the book as a well-researched and extremely timely work on the duality of privilege and exclusion at the core of the Schengen system.
