New Book Release – Linking Borderlands

Statement

04/06/2024

The new edited book with contributions from more than ten UniGR-CBS members analyses the Greater Region and the German-Polish border region and links the results using its own linking method.

This open access book shows the complexity and dynamics of European border regions as zones of contact and transition. It is the result of the joint interdisciplinary project “Linking Borderlands: Dynamics of Cross-Border Peripheries”, which compares the Greater Region of SaarLorLux+ and the border region Brandenburg/Lubuskie. The contributions the book contains expand on the theoretical foundations in this respect and highlight practical fields of application in the areas of policy transfer and learning, social practice and language in the context of vocational training, cultural negotiation processes in film, planning cultures and energy transition. Research and practice are in constant interaction, so the book provides both a snapshot of the current state of research on this subject and a starting point for further research projects.
