This field was explored due to previous researchers claiming that the EU’s border regions are particularly susceptible to changes in Euroscepticism due to sudden border insecurity. The case of Russia’s invasion of Ukrain

I Sverige har förvaltningsbeslut överprövats sedan medeltiden. Överprövning har i regel genomförts av myndighet även om vissa frågor prövats i domstol. I slutet av 1900-talet fick europarätten, i form av Europakonventionen och EU-rätten, allt större inflytande på svensk rätt. Till skillnad från den svenska traditionen för förvaltningsrättsligt överklagande fäster europarätten stor vikt vid domstolIn Sweden, administrative decisions have been reviewed since the Middle Ages. As a rule, review has been carried out by different authorities, although some issues have been tried in the courts. At the end of the 20th century, the European Convention on Human Rights and EU law became increasingly in- fluential in Swedish law. Unlike the Swedish tradition of administrative ap- peal, both the Europe
