“…This qualitative exploration adds to the current discussion of inequality in transnational employment and the implications and effects of unethical practices towards international workers (Iossa and Persdotter, 2021 ; Katic and Ingram, 2018 ). While such negative effects have been reported previously for different groups of migrants, the problems faced by CBWs between the Czech Republic and Germany have not been evaluated in such depth before (Böhm, 2021 ; Haindorfer, 2020 ; Karacsony et al ., 2021 ; Novotny, 2021 ; Wiesböck, 2016 ). Our findings demonstrate an inequality in the treatment of CBWs in terms of finances and job security, but also in their daily lives.…”

“…The lack of time spent in their host country due to high workloads and long commute times restricts a deeper integration into host country communities. This negatively affects acceptance, as well as the self‐perceived societal standing of CBWs in the host country society (Haindorfer, 2013 ; Karacsony et al ., 2021 ; Novotny, 2021 ; Wille, 2010 ). Consequently, this can lead to a situation where host‐country nationals misconceive CBWs as ‘familiar strangers’ instead of fellow members of their society (Wille, 2010 ).…”

The experiences of cross‐border workers (CBWs) and the difficulties they face during the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic have been neglected in previous research. CBWs experience various stressors under normal circumstances, where they are often subjected to unequal working conditions and forced to transition between two different societies. The measures that were introduced in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, including the implementation of physical borders, further worsened the situation for these individuals. Herein, we draw on qualitative interview data from 35 CBWs from the Czech Republic and Germany to explore their experiences of work, stress, support, and their positioning in society during the pandemic. We detail the dissatisfaction felt by CBWs regarding re‐bordering, the lack of coordination in the crisis management, and the lack of support from national governments and the EU. This study provides unique insights into the difficulties and experiences of CBWs in a time of crisis.

“…Rávilágítottak továbbá arra is, hogy a látogatások gyakorisága közvetlen kapcsolatban van a beszélt nyelv ismeretével, továbbá hogy ezeknek a látogatásoknak hídépítő funkciója is van, illetve hogy a magasabb jövedelemmel és magasabb iskolai végzettséggel rendelkezők többet profitálhatnak a határ közelségének előnyeiből. Karácsony P. et al (2021) a magyar-szlovák határon ingázó munkaerőt és az ingázás okait vizsgáltak és azt tapasztalták, hogy vannak hasonlóságok a magyar és a szlovák ingázók között. Az ingázók elégedettségét leginkább a felajánlott állások sokfélesége és a bérek szintje határozta meg.…”

The water regulation of the Danube in the border area of Szigetköz in Hungary and Csallóköz in Slovakia opened new economic opportunities for the region. Recent research aims to identify the economic opportunities that may arise as a result of the planned interventions or that have been latent in the socio-economic life of the region so far. The research method is based firstly on the detailed analysis of strategic documents containing findings on the economic aspects of Szigetköz–Csallóköz, and secondly on in-depth interviews with the decision-makers and institutional leaders of the municipalities concerned (N = 22). As a result of the research proposals besides infrastructural improvements, economic improvements such as the creation of a unified tourism brand similar to the Slovakian “Kukkonia our golden garden” brand, could result in a rise in quality and development of the tourism destination.

“…The study, demonstrating a direct relationship between the frequency of visits and the knowledge of the native language of the region emphasises the bridge-building function of visits, noting that individuals with higher incomes and education levels are likely to benefit more from proximity to the border. Karácsony, Vinichenko, Antalík, Dávid & Vasa (2021) investigated the commuting workforce along the Hungarian-Slovakian border and the main drivers of commuting through a questionnaire survey. The results pointed to similarities between Hungarian and Slovakian commuters, i.e.…”

The current research investigates the Hungarian-Slovakian cross-border area of Szigetköz-Csallóköz in the context of new economic opportunities facilitated by water level regulation. The objective of the research is to unearth the potential economic opportunities triggered by the planned interventions and reveal the latent resources in the regional socio-economic fabric. The research employs two analytical methods: a situation analysis phase comprising an in-depth analysis of strategic documents that discuss various economic features of the Szigetköz -Csallóköz area, and a needs assessment phase based on in-depth interviews with decision-makers and institutional leaders of the selected municipalities (N=22). The research results are presented in the form of proposals related to infrastructural developments, such as the construction of a cycle path along the Old Danube embankment (from Danakiliti to Gönyű) or economic development such as the creation of a unique tourism brand.
