La cooperación transfronteriza en la Cerdanya (frontera España-Francia)

Abstract

Texto resumen.

Spanish geography at contemporary times. State of the question (1972-2022)

“…This question is a longstanding one in Catalan Geography (Paül i Carril, 2017) and one that the emerging agenda of Border Studies has brought to the forefront once more (Paül i Carril et al, 2017), while it has also gained increasing relevance as a result of the procés and its current, or potential, geopolitical fallout. Specific examples of this academic output include analyses of the creation of a cross-border Euroregion -often seen as emulating the so-called expanded Països Catalans or the former Crown of Aragon (Durà and Oliveras González, 2010;García-Álvarez and Trillo, 2013) -, the cooperation established between the autonomous community of Catalonia under Spanish sovereignty and the département of the Pyrénées-Orientales -coinciding largely with Northern Catalonia under French sovereignty - (Castañer and Feliu, 2012;Oliveras González, 2013;Paül i Carril et al, 2017;Becat, 2021) and the problems created by the borders between the autonomous community of Catalonia, on the one hand, and those of Aragon and the Valencian Country, on the other (Sancho and Tort, 2012;Tort and Galindo, 2018).…”

La geografía española actual. Estado de la cuestión

“…Tanmateix, els darrers anys ha recobrat vigència arran del «procés» i les seves actuals o potencials conseqüències geopolítiques. Exemples particulars d'aquesta producció acadèmica els ofereixen les anàlisis de la conformació d'una Euroregió transfronterera, sovint vista com una emulació dels anomenats «Països Catalans» ampliats o de l'àmbit de l'antiga Corona d'Aragó (Durà i Oliveras González, 2010;García-Álvarez i Trillo, 2013), de la cooperació entre la Catalunya autonòmica de sobirania espanyola i el departament dels Pirineus Orientals -gairebé coincident amb la Catalunya Nord de sobirania francesa- (Castañer i Feliu, 2012;Oliveras González, 2013;Berzi, 2017;Paül i Carril et al, 2017;Becat, 2021) o de les problemàtiques generades al voltant de les fronteres interautonòmiques entre Catalunya, d'una banda, i l'Aragó i el País Valencià, de l'altra (Sancho i Tort, 2012;Tort i Galindo, 2018).…”

On borders and boundaries in Spain: A state of the art

“…Second, the Department of Geography at the Autonomous University of Barcelona has produced a body of research that includes Oliveras's 2009 doctoral thesis on the transnational space of the Mediterranean Arc. He continued his research with studies conducted at a more local scale, in particular, La Cerdanya (Oliveras, 2013); currently, Xavier Oliveras is a researcher at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte, where his work is focused on the Mexico-United States border -a border previously studied by Luna (2002) and Molla (2011). Oliveras's thesis supervisor, Antoni Durà, has led a line of work on cross-border cooperation in Europe based on comparative case studies and which has resulted in an interesting catalogue of good practices for Euroregions (Durà et al, 2018).…”
