Today's border(s) cannot be seen solely as a geographical dividing line. The thesis explores the modern border which is understood as a polymorphic concept, the meaning of which is constantly changing in the dynamics of global capitalism. The work focuses on the border in relation to modern migrations and through a critical Marxist analysis examines how the border produces labor as a commodity and thus creates the heterogeneity of living labor. In this respect, the problematic nature of the institution of citizenship, which we also understand as an ever-changing institution, is thematized as an expression of the boundary between exclusion and inclusion. At the same time, we see the border in its perpetually dual nature, as the border is also a place where the same border can be torn down and is consequently a place of potential further social transformations. In the case of the European Union's attitude towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, we exemplify the 'shift' of the modern border. Thus, joint border and migration control of the external border of the Member States of the Union is already carried out on its ‘periphery’.
