“…The symbolic strength of this reality is often shadowed by the well‐vociferated old geopolitical dispute between Spain and the UK regarding the sovereignty of the rock (see e.g. Oda‐Ángel ; Sepúlveda‐Muñoz ; Lambert ; Gold , ). Tariq's anniversary encourages us to look at this European British Overseas Territory through a different discursive lens.…”

This contribution focuses on the borderscape of a flat area situated at the southernmost tip of Gibraltar, at the edge of the European Continent, which is illustratively and interestingly named Europa Point. We will argue that, as an evoking geographical belvedere of cultural and continental interrelationships, Europa Point directs attention to the inherent sociospatial ambiguities of EUrope. Embodying a crucial topo within the European sociospatial b/ordering process, this borderscape stimulates to observe Europe's limits through a non-binary lens. The text aims at providing an unfrozen alternative visualisation of the symbolic and territorial margins of the EU. Echoing De Rougemont's conceptualisation of Europe's existence through its search for the infinite, it depicts Europa Point as a springboard and platform to the perpetual commencement of the European adventure.

“…However, it seems important to note that after the tripartite Forum of Dialogue (Spain‐Britain‐Gibraltar), co‐operation was achieved across a number of issues on 18 September 2006. Co‐operation agreements included the use of Gibraltar's airport, frontier traffic flows, pensions for former Spanish workers in Gibraltar and telecommunications (Gold 2009, p. 79). The Gibraltar‐Spain case shows that cross‐border management is possible despite bilateral territorial conflict.…”

“…The Gibraltar‐Spain case shows that cross‐border management is possible despite bilateral territorial conflict. Although, as Gold (2009, p. 92) points out ‘there is no sign that on a strategic level Spain's position is any different today from what it was 50 years ago’, the agreements clearly helped normalise Gibraltarian‐Spanish relations regarding a number of specific operational issues.…”

This contribution examines the development of territorial dynamics on the Ceuta-Morocco border region in the context of the structural Spanish-Moroccan rebordering that followed Spain's EU entry. The evolution of border practice is canvassed through the confronting notions of territorial discontinuity and territorial continuity. Clearly, current territorial dynamics between Ceuta and Morocco are characterised by both the existence of conflictive geopolitical cross-border dialectics and the implementation of fortifying securitisation measures. However, simultaneously, the border region is also marked by intensifying patterns of cross-border interaction which are sourced in the rising potentialities of economic and urban cross-border co-operation. In this light, the paper seeks to map the present intertwining of these apparently disagreeing territorial trends. To conclude, the paper underlines the ongoing modification of relational power between Ceuta and Morocco. It depicts the strengthening of local cross-border co-operative practices as a potential tool to cope with persistent sovereignty disputes in the border region.
