“…It is also suffering the problems of sustainability faced by the snow sports sector due to the global environmental crisis. In addition, its cross-border character has led to it being the object of practices of cooperation, including a cross-border landscape plan (Nogué and Sala, 2016) and the only truly cross-border hospital in Europe (Berzi, 2017;Paül i Carril et al, 2017), which has adopted fairly unique management practices during the Covid-19 pandemic, a crisis characterised elsewhere by the strengthening of the borders between the Member States of the European Union (Galindo et al, 2022;Paül i Carril and Trillo, 2022). Indeed, La Cerdanya has been one of the main scenarios for this crisis, at least in the media, due to the massive arrival of those living in Barcelona to take up residence in their second homes, despite restrictions on mobility.…”

“…Their study also emphasises that the post-1978 Constitution "Spain of the autonomous communities" model was put under considerable strain and while this was not a problem exclusive to Catalonia, the tensions here were notable. Indeed, Burgueño (2021b), Galindo et al (2022) and Trillo et al (2022) highlight these tensions in studies of the specific characteristics of the regionalisation of healthcare in Catalonia, at variance with the regional map of the Spanish State in Catalonia. This, in fact, is not a new topic, since questions concerning political divisions (organització territorial in Catalan) within Catalonia is one of the most timeworn aspects -or, dare we say, the most timeworn -of Catalan Geography since the foundation of the SCG (Bertran, 2021).…”

This contribution provides a critical review of the geographical literature produced about Catalonia since 2010. Although other references are mentioned in the text, the focus is to review two multi-authored books published in 2021. On the one hand, La nova Geografia de la Catalunya postcovid ('The New Geography of post-covid Catalonia'). On the other, a history of the Societat Catalana de Geografia ('Catalan Society of Geography'), an institution founded in 1935 that serves as a meeting point for Catalan geographers. By so doing, the current Catalan geography (as a territory) and the evolution and state of Geography (as a discipline) in Catalonia are critically examined.The contents are structured around four crises considered significant for understanding the current tasks of Catalan Geography: (1) the crisis that was initiated in 2008, initially impacting the property market and the financial sector, but which later would have far-reaching socioeconomic effects for the whole of Catalonia; (2) the Covid-19 crisis, which broke out in March 2020 and which is profoundly reconfiguring the lives of people everywhere, including in Catalonia; (3) the geopolitical crisis in Spain and Catalonia, whose origin can be traced to 2010; and, finally, (4) the global environmental crisis, which, if we adhere to one of the recent theories about the Anthropocene, began with the industrial revolution but whose effects did not acquire a combined human signature until the last decades of the 20 th century or even the beginning of the current one.To sum up, current Catalan geographical research is responding in real time to the multifaceted manifestations of these four crises. However, this ability to conduct geographical analyses of Catalonia that has developed in the course of the last decade should not be separated from the highly idiosyncratic sustained tradition enjoyed by Geography as a consolidated science in Catalonia. Likewise, many Catalan geographers have lately been involved in the discipline's applied and future-oriented dimension, including policy-making.

Las últimas publicaciones han incidido, a su vez, en la importancia de los límites interautonómicos en la gestión de la crisis de la Covid-19, incluyendo el caso comparado de la frontera franco-española (Galindo, 2021;Galindo, Tort y Santasugsana, 2022).…”

“…The project culminated in the publication of a study, jointly edited by Tort and Galindo (2018), which has been the source for subsequent works published both in journals and as book chapters (Galindo, Santasusagna andTort, 2019, 2020;Galindo, 2020;Santasusagna, Galindo and Tort, 2020). The group's most recent publications have stressed the importance of inter-AC boundaries in the management of the Covid-19 crisis, including a comparative case study of the situation on the French-Spanish border (Galindo, 2021;Galindo, Tort and Santasugsana, 2022).…”

Academic studies of border issues have undergone considerable growth at the international scale in recent years with the emergence of so-called border studies. In this line of research dedicated to borders and their socio-spatial repercussions, geography clearly has a key role to play. Here, I report a state of the art of Spanish geographical production in the field of border studies. However, given that, by definition, border studies is multidisciplinary, works undertaken in related disciplines are also reported. Finally, Spanish production is examined in relation to the broader international context, with the aim of detecting any possible shortcomings and providing ideas to strengthen research on borders and boundaries.
