“…Finally, cross-border co-operation in North America is also characterized by a vast number of health services, and educational matters (see GANSTER, 1995). Thus, while it has theoretically been left to small initiatives in community development, health and environmental politics sponsored by NGOs and other subnational governments ± the states in the US and in Mexico, the provinces in Canada, as well as local issue-oriented groups, many of which have established international links and extensive informational governments in the three countries ± to take up comprehensive co-operation initiatives (SMITH, 1990), networks.…”

SCOTT J. W. (1999) European and North American contexts for cross-border regionalism, Reg. Studies 33 , 605-617. This paper discusses cross-border regionalism within the supranational contexts of the European Union and the developing North American Free Trade Area. Focusing on planning and regional development issues, cross-border regionalism as a new form of governance is investigated, based on a comparison of supranational integration logics, co-operation frameworks and instruments, and co-operation agendas and strategies. In both contexts, discrepancies between programmatic objectives and co-operation results are striking, eliciting questions as to the greater potential significance of cross-border regionalism. The paper argues that theories of political regulation and constructivist perspectives might help relate cross-border regionalism to broader economic, political and cultural variables, explaining how regionalist agendas and strategies emerge, and how they are a response to local interests and aspirations and to external economic and political pressures. SCOTT J. W. (1999) Le regionalisme transfrontalier: etudes de cas europeennes et nord-americaines, Reg. Studies 33 , 605-617. Cet article discute du regionalisme transfrontalier a partir des etudes de cas supranationales, a savoir l'Union europeenne et la zone de libre-echange nord-americaine (NAFTA). Portant sur des questions concernant la planification et l'amenagement du territoire, l'article examine le regionalisme transfrontalier en tant qu' un nouveau systeme de gouvernement, fonde sur une comparaison des logiques relatives a l'integration supranationale, sur les cadres et les instruments de cooperation, et sur les programmes et les strategies de cooperation. Dans les deux etudes de cas, les divergences entre les objectifs des programmes et les resultats de la cooperation s'averent frappantes, d'ou des questions quant a l'importance eventuelle accrue du regionalisme transfrontalier. Cet article affirme que les theories de la reglementation politique et les perspectives constructivistes pourraient aider a etablir un rapport entre le regionalisme transfrontalier et les variables economiques, politiques, culturelles plus larges afin d'expliquer comment les programmes et les strategies regionalistes se font jour, et jusqu'a quel point ils constituent une reponse aux interets et aux attentes locaux et aux contraintes economiques et politiques externes.

Dieser Aufsatz behandelt grenzuberschreitenden Regionalismus im uberstaatlichen Rahmen der Europaischen Union und der sich entwickelnden nordamerikanischen Freihandelszone. Grenzuber schreitender Regionalismus als eine neue Regierungsform wird unter besonderer Berucksichtigung von Planungs-und Regionalentwicklungsfragen einer Untersuchung unterzogen, die sich auf einen Vergleich uberstaatlicher Integrationsverfahren stutzt, sowie auf Kooperationsrahmen und-instrumente und Koopera...
