“…Studies carried out in the neighbouring geographies of Portugal and France, which logically consider the effects on the Spanish side of the border, have not been included in this review. Indeed, as regards analyses of territorial cooperation, the number of studies produced by David Giband in France, for instance, and Eduardo Medeiros in Portugal (most recent examples include Giband and Mary, 2018;Medeiros, 2021) is notable. In comparison, far fewer studies have been identified in the neighbouring geography of Morocco, although Attou's (2020) study of Ceuta and Melilla is an obvious exception.…”

Spanish geography has registered significant changes in the last three decades that have affected teaching, research and social consideration of the discipline. New educational programs (bachelor's degrees, master's and doctorates) have been launched within the framework of the reforms developed (LRU, Bologna Declaration) on university education that have guided training, in most Spanish geography departments, towards the applied aspect (spatial planning). The master's studies have allowed a specialization of geographic studies in different topics (spatial planning, SIG, landscape analysis, the environment and sustainability, natural risks, economic changes, demographic processes). Doctoral works have also evolved from monographic theses with a classical structure towards memoirs compiled from research articles published in high-impact journals. In research, new lines of work have been developed in the heat of currents from the international sphere or have been promoted as their own themes animated from Spanish geography and that respond to demands for research or application of the discipline. The reports on Spanish geographic research developed within the Spanish Geography Association and the analysis of the content of publications and activities carried out by other geographical entities in our country (Royal Geographical Society, Catalan Society of Geography) provide an overview of the evolution of research in geography, which has become, in general terms, more collaborative (larger teams and multidisciplinary participation) and thematically more specialized. Finally, the discipline has gained in social consideration due to the development of applied work demanded by the administration or the company, the participation of geography in current social debates and its projection in the media. So that Spanish geography, in 2022, is a dynamic, modern discipline with international projection that works for a constant improvement of its participation in the educational system (non-university and university), of its consideration in state or regional research programs, and its prestige as a science of social utility.

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.

“…EUCOR’s territorialized cross‐border cooperation represents an “institutional formalization of regional cooperation” (Giband and Mary 2018: 592). Students at EUCOR institutions can enroll in courses across the whole European Campus and benefit from traveling allowances and the respective student services abroad without additional charges.…”

Leveraging Regional Differences and Cross‐Border Collective Institutions: The Case of Skill Formation and Employment in the Border Region of France, Germany, and Switzerland

European cross‐border regions often display substantial political and economic activity. A key example is the French‐German‐Swiss Upper Rhine region, where three distinct national governance models come together. In this dynamic cross‐border industry cluster, traditional political‐administrative units often do not meet the functional needs of employers and (future) employees. This comparative institutional analysis refers to Varieties of Capitalism and Local Production Systems perspectives to explore the operations of this cluster. It finds two main patterns through which education and training are embedded in the cross‐border context: on the one hand, the leveraging of distinct institutional advantages in the different parts of the region and, on the other, the creation of cross‐border collective competition goods in the form of jointly provided educational institutions. Through these two strategies, local actors within the cross‐border industry cluster can turn their peripheral location into an institutional advantage.
