Borders serve four main functions according to the document. Borders are resources that provide economic and political opportunities for nations. Borders are also symbols that represent both integration within a nation and differentiation from other nations. Additionally, borders can act as bridges to further economic integration between regions. Finally, borders function as barriers that separate nations not just economically but also administratively, legally, politically, culturally and psychologically.
