The aim of this paper is to try to summarize, how, the scholars researching border studies and cross-border cooperation practitioners reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic during the period from 16 of March to 21 of June 2020. As it was not possible to follow all the texts (often published without peer-review in thematic blogs) and events, the overview is not exhausting. Another goal of this text is to synthesize the main messages of those texts and events and to identify possible future trends in border studies. We will most likely experience the discourse change which will lead us towards studying impacts of re-bordering rather than de-bordering. We can also expect the lower engagement of the local and regional actors in cross-border cooperation, which will be in some border contexts considered as an unnecessary luxury.

Zaprezentowany artykuł opisuje procesy borderyzacji, deborderyzacji i reborderyzacji w Azji Wschodniej, z granicami morskimi i roszczeniami terytorialnymi jako centralnymi elementami analizy. Jej kluczowe pytanie to dlaczego niektóre spory terytorialne dotyczące obszarów morskich ulegają intensyfikacji, podczas gdy inne wyciszeniu w badanym regionie? Autor koncentruje się na państwach wyspiarskich: Japonii i Republice Chińskiej (Tajwanie), analizując ich wzajemne relacje. Osadzone są one w kontekście (morskich) roszczeń terytorialnych i sporów w regionie Morza Wschodniochińskiego i Południowochińskiego, z licznymi aktorami zaangażowanymi w rywalizację o kontrolę przestrzeni i ustalanie nowych granic. W analizie przyjęto założenie, że aby zrozumieć dynamikę procesów deborderyzacji pomiędzy opisywanymi państwami, badanie ich sąsiedztwa musi być umieszczone w kontekście historycznych relacji, struktury interesów oraz pamięci zbiorowej odniesionej do tożsamości terytorialnej. Ponadto, próby zintensyfikowania współpracy transgranicznej muszą być analizowane przy uwzględnieniu zmieniającej się sytuacji geopolitycznej w regionie i rosnącej potęgi Chin. Na poziomie koncepcyjnym artykuł interpretuje badane procesy przy użyciu zarówno neorealistycznego, jak i konstruktywistycznego paradygmatu stosunków międzynarodowych, a także teoretycznych modeli (wciąż tworzącej się) dyscypliny badań nad granicami.

The presented article maps processes of bordering, de-bordering and re-bordering in East Asia with maritime borders and territorial claims as the central elements of the analysis. The key question of the investigation is why some maritime territorial disputes are amplified when other are silenced in the region? The author concentrates on two island states, Japan and the Republic of China (Taiwan), testing de-bordering of their neighborhood. This process is taking place however in the context of (maritime) border claims and disputes in the region of East China Sea and South China Sea, with numerous actors involved in the game of controlling space and setting new borders there. It is assumed that to understand the dynamics of the de-bordering processes between the two states, their neighborhood’s analysis has to be framed by historical developments, interests’ configurations as well as the collective spatial memory/identity component. Moreover, the attempts to intensify cross-border cooperation need to be settled, among others, in the changing geopolitical situation in the region and the growing power of China. Conceptually the paper tries to interpret developments using both neo-realistic and constructivist approach to international relations as well as theoretical models of the (still emerging) field of border studies.
