Futures of borders: A forward study of European border checks, December 2011

This ‘Forward Study of European Border Checks’ was commissioned by the Frontex Research and Development Unit. It focuses on the futures and foresight tools relevant to European border control. The study is divided into two parts: the first identifies and assesses areas of expertise relevant to border control, in which nearer-term estimates of passenger flows are already being made. The second part develops longer-term futures scenarios on the basis of identified areas of knowledge, in order to highlight trends that may impact on EU border security.
