Abstract
Consideration of the report on the IPA-CBC territorial cooperation programme between the
EU and Turkey is the starting point to study about reconstructing the process that brought
territorial dimension to the centre of the EU “foreign policy”. At the present time, the Union's
relations with the third countries can be classified according to geographic criteria: either as
territorial cooperation with neighbouring countries; international cooperation in the other
cases. The political process pointing at the regional dimension within the enlargement,
integration and neighbourhood policies is analysed through EU documents, thus showing the
change in the meaning of “border” due to decentralization, cohesion and territorial
cooperation on different scales.
