The early development of the European Union was a post-national project that was both political and economic: the EU was meant to bolster European democracy by de-intensifying nationalism, supporting the rule of law, and, most of all, opening internal borders to trade and migration. This dissertation examines how the tourism industry played a key role in that mission both as a means to reinvigorate laggard economies as well as a symbol of borderless Europe. Using the two successive cases of Spanish and Bulgarian democratization, integration into the EU, and rapid growth in mass tourism, the project examines how urbanization for tourism was encouraged by the EU cohesion process and how it was interpreted by local residents in coastal areas. Europe's Exploding Edges: Tourism, Urbanization, and the Evolving Periphery of the European Union investigates the paradoxical place of tourism in urban economies through comparative case studies of Spain's Costa Blanca, after the death of Francisco Franco in 1975, and Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast after 1989. Drawing on participant observation in coastal communities in the two countries, 150 interviews with developers, architects, and tourism promoters, and analysis of a broad range of primary and secondary written sources, the dissertation shows how intra-European tourism and EU-funded urbanization helped new democracies cast-off previous conceptions of living on the political and economic edges of Europe. Local residents first interpreted the ludic spaces produced for tourists by state-developer partnerships as colorful signs of the end of political isolation. However, the economic and political crisis of 2008 profoundly undermined these cities' sense of European integration due to corruption, overbuilding, and environmental harm. In both cases, the aesthetics and international milieu of new leisure spaces, the rapid urbanization of rural lands, and the uneven enforcement of environmental policy were physical changes that were symbolically linked to the political forces of European integration and flows of visitors and capital. I develop the concept of 'peripherality' as a social experience while also tying it to the EU policy prerogative of creating post-national 'Social Europe,' a project currently in dismal condition. Emphasizing that the development of the EU has always been tied to a modernization drive of the near-periphery- fueled by the legacy of dictatorship and communism- I show how residents and those involved in the construction industry reacted to the dramatically changing built environment, both during boom years and after the onset of the 2008 sovereign debt crisis. The dissertation adds to literature in urban sociology on the experience of living in rapidly growing 'leisure cities' with increasingly cosmopolitan demographics. While the work engages closely with the specificities of the European context, it speaks to the broader global tendency of cities to seek- in tourism and leisure- an elusive integration with hyper-competitive global markets.
