This work investigates whether the European Union's border control mechanisms maintain constitutional compliance with the fundamental rights and legal principles established within the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Dr. Leandro Mancano, a scholar specializing in EU law, utilizes a rigorous legal analysis to evaluate the tension between state sovereignty in border management and the supranational obligations of the EU. The book argues that the current framework for internal and external border controls requires a more robust constitutional alignment to ensure the protection of individual rights and the integrity of the Schengen acquis.

Legal scholars and practitioners recognize this text as a sophisticated contribution to the study of EU constitutional law and border governance. The prose is highly academic and dense, making it a specialized resource for researchers and students focusing on the intersection of human rights and European security policy.
