Mobilités et marchés du travail des espaces (trans)frontaliers : enjeux et impacts
The changes in the meaning and operation of borders over the last few decades has enabled the "classic" function of the border (as a territorial boundary) to be given a degree of porosity on the spatial and international level. Thus, the flows of a cross-border labour force have increased. And globalisation, the specialisation of economies and the growth in trade are factors that have reinforced this process.

The book project develops the “border texture” approach based on cultural sciences as a contribution to complex research on the theme of borders from different angles.

This working paper presents the current conclusions of the research carried out in the fields of cross-border mobility, transport infrastructures, public transport and the influence of EU policies on cross-border mobility; on this basis, it develops the challenges relating to spatial planning in the Greater Region.

The borders between regional and urban areas have become fluid, and therefore these two spaces cannot still be considered as distinctive research fields and must be studied together. Soja’s article reflects this process and highlights eight thematic fields forming the base of critical research on urban and regional areas.

The article studies the perspective of the West African Borders and Integration (WABI) initiative on cross-border relations within the EU. In this respect, the authors refer to Walter Mignolo’s thoughts on the modern/colonial global system and ultimately expand his idea on the way to think over borders and on exteriority.

Geographical concepts have been used on several occasions to support the capitalist economic system. For this reason, in her article, Chiara Brambilla revisits the geographical concepts of landscapes and borders in order to produce a geographical alternative to capitalism based on the concept of “borderscape”.

At first glance, the issue of borders does not seem to go hand in hand with a relational understanding of space. In their article, Löw and Weidenhaus attempt to resolve this discrepancy by devising a sociological conceptualisation of border spaces, which they illustrate with the examples of European border spaces and the migration and refugee movements of 2015.

The article questions the goals of cross-border cooperation in the Grand Est region after its merger in 2015. It specifies the scope of the campaigns performed before the time of the Grand Est region and the challenges in the region due to those goals.

This article analyses the effects of the Treaty of Rome to promote mobility of employees in the European area. It then focuses on two forms of mobility: Cross-border employment and secondment of employees within the greater region, SaarLorLux.

This chapter of the work examines the border location of the cross-border spaces and shows the relativity of the different situations depending on the spatial analysis standards.

Lorraine, integrated into the Grand Est region in 2016, is "gripped" between the French state, the EU and the metropolitan regions of Luxembourg and Strasbourg. These actors force their congruent logic of neoliberal "territorialisation" on Lorraine.

This article presents the most important results of a research paper of the labour union Force Ouvrière within the scope of the Agence d’Obectifs IHRES (Institut de Recherches Economiques et sociales) in France. Its goal is analysing the practices of secondment of temporary workers from Luxembourg to Lorraine.
