New UniGR-CBS Working Paper – Linking Borderlands: Dynamics of Cross-Border Peripheries

In the 21st century, cross-border cooperation in the EU's national peripheries has become very important. However, this should by no means be taken for granted, as the Covid 19 pandemic has shown, for example.

The project "Linking Borderlands: Dynamics of Border Regional Peripheries", which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), focuses on two border regions from a comparative perspective: the so-called Greater Region (Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg) and the Brandenburg-Lubuskie border region (Germany, Poland) on the southwestern and eastern edge of Germany.
 

The UniGR-CBS Working Paper outlines the background of cross-border cooperation in the EU and highlights the development of Border Studies, followed by five thematic contributions. Among the authors of the Working Paper are members of the UniGR-CBS.

More information about the project here and in this interview with Florian Weber (Saarland University).
 

The UniGR-CBS manages several online publication formats for researchers in order to reach different target groups: Academic readers, as well as actors from politics and administration. The publication series can also be used by researchers who are not members of the UniGR-CBS. Publication requests can be sent to borderstudies@uni.lu at any time.
