Call for Papers: Cross-Border Cooperation in Crisis - Workshop at Andrassy University Budapest
The cross-border cooperation (CBC) has been flourishing in Europe since the establishment of INTERREG in 1990. After 30 years, the Corona pandemic has been the first true testing for the established cross-border cooperation. It reveals how fragile the cross-border cooperation in Europe actually is.
The closing of borders challenged every form of cross-border cooperation, be it loose-knit networks or formalized legal entities like European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC). Actors involved in CBC had to adapt to a fundamentally novel situation and to find innovative ways to maintain the cooperation, if possible.
