“…Using the database provided by Dura Guimerà et al (2018), Noferini et al (2020) introduce an important distinction between active and inactive initiatives, and examine the diverse administrative composition and policy capacity of 61 'especially active' Euroregions. Scholars have also analysed the drivers of CBC within large-sample comparative studies, with varying results depending on the type of CBC initiatives involved and thematic areas of cooperation (Basboga 2020;Harguindéguy and Sánchez 2017). This short overview shows that the samples identified and the results produced vary greatly from study to study, depending on the definition of CBC initiatives applied.…”

The development of cross-border regionalism in Europe has given rise to a multitude of academic works focussing on the pattern, signification and evolution of cross-border cooperation. Most previous studies have, however, focused on individual crossborder cooperation initiatives as units of analysis and neglected their spatial relation to other initiatives. By mapping the perimeter, activity, geographical type, scale and spatial relations of 209 initiatives, the current paper provides an updated and more nuanced overview of the geography of cross-border cooperation in Europe. The cartographic exploration from a rescaling perspective reveals the varying accumulation, scalar focus and activity of cross-border cooperation across Europe and leads to the identification of different forms and evolutions of scalar arrangements constituted by their overlapping perimeters of action. The distinction between nested, overlapping and complex arrangements suggests that different scalar processes are involved in the ongoing structuration of cross-border cooperation, and calls for better consideration of these multiscalar dynamics in future research.

“…The second issue that bears analysis relates to evidence that the drivers of cross-border cooperation will have different roles depending on the nature of cooperation, whether education and training, small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurship, or infrastructure (Basboga, 2020). Similarly, actors will have differing capacities and tendencies to lead or follow, be more collaborative or competitive.…”

Planning a Dublin–Belfast Economic Corridor: Networks, engagement and creating opportunities

et al. 2021

Cross-border cooperation on the island of Ireland has a long history, if often a limited scope. The emergence of statutory North/South bodies after the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement of 1998 added a new dynamic. This paper argues that the further development of the Dublin–Belfast Economic Corridor will require key stakeholders to engage widely, not only with a private sector whose rationale will be greater levels of commercial activity along the Corridor but also with others who will bring additional agendas into discussion, including sustainability and quality of life. Political engagement will also be critical to ensure that the top-down support, in terms of investment and alignment with other policy priorities, is present. The framework for this collaboration is already in place, something that was absent in the 1990s. Actors and policy entrepreneurs who can bring together the different types of engagement on a cross-border basis are required.
