| Summary/Abstract |
Strasbourg, France-Any attempt to explain a transnational identity must take into account that nations, cultures, and people have always met and mixed across borders and boundaries. Europe's historically grounded diversity constitutes our true identity and gives us great strength if properly understood and respected. Over the centuries, nations have been born, and borders created or modified. The most recent wave of border changes occurred after the fall of communism. While some changes proved violent, such as war in the Balkans after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, others were peaceful. Czechoslovakia split, without conflict, into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
