Why read this Report? … because the Black Sea matters The Black Sea region is coming into its own - but it is a contested and sometimes dangerous neighbourhood. It has undergone countless political transformations over time. And now, once again, it is becoming the subject of an intense debate. This reflects the changing dynamics of the Black Sea countries and the complex realities of their politics and conflicts, economies and societies. Geography, the interests of others and the region’s relations with the rest of the world in large part explain its resurgence. Straddling Europe and Asia, the Black Sea links north to south and east to west. Oil, gas, transport and trade routes are all crucial in explaining its increasing relevance. In the last two decades the Black Sea has changed beyond recognition. We have witnessed the transformation of the former communist societies and the impact of globalisation. -
Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN POLISH EUROREGIONS Jan Wendt* After the year 1998 when the world order was broke down, the modern Europe came into a new qualitatively phase of the integration processes' development. The new challenges, new communications techniques, migration processes, ideas' diffusions create more and more links between countries and local societies. The progress of cultural and economical integration is creally going into globalisation and universalisation the model of life. However, the globalisation doesn't create any efficiently working mechanism of performing law and institution order because its subjects try to - for the sake of defending own businesses - unique the instituali- sation of the authority on the above country level (Malendowski W., Szczepaniak M., 2000). Therefore, only the increase of transborder co-operation can make the authority desistance the opposition which exists in this matter (Schulc E., 1996). The euroregional co-operation, which is developed very well in UE, can lessen the distance between countries which are in UE (Malendowski W., Ratajczak M., 1998) and countries which pretend to be in there and liquidate the feeling of being in the suburban of the Western Europe. The co-operation also gives possi- bilities of knowing the rules of multilateral co-operation and democratic procedures for the post communistic societies (Bernatowicz G.; 1994). So, the co-operation should be one of the priorities for the UE candidate countries. What is more, the European Commission and its different kinds of helping programmes like PHARE help the euroregions activities. It seems that Poland is a regional leader in creating new euroregions in Central Europe. -

The methodological basis of the study consists of the following approaches to the study of Euroregions: geographical, political, administrative, functional. Definitions of the Euroregion as the main form of cross-border cooperation have been determined, and institutions promoting cross- border cooperation between Ukraine and Poland have been studied. The institutional support for cross-border cooperation within the framework of the “Carpathian” and “Bug” Euroregions has been examined. Features of the Ukrainian-Polish Euroregions – “Carpathian” and “Bug” have been characterized. Problematic issues concerning the Euroregion cross-border cooperation support have been identified. Moreover, recom- mendations on improving the institutional component of the Ukrainian-Polish CBC within the “Carpathian” and the “Bug” Euroregions are given herein. Key words: institutional support, cross-border cooperation, “Carpathian,” “Bug,” Ukraine, Poland eing an element of the state policy, today, cross-border cooperation B(CBC) occupies an important place in socio-economic development priorities and European integration directions. An important aspect of regional development is establishing interregional and cross-border co- operation among border regions and territories. -

Euroregion As a Tool for Sustainable Development of Border Areas: the European Experience and Ukrainian Features
DOI: 10.2478/vjbsd-2014-0011 58 Visegrad Journal on Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development 2/2014 EUROREGION AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF BORDER AREAS: THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE AND UKRAINIAN FEATURES Yuliia Tkachenko Cherkasy State Technological University, Cherkasy, Ukraine The purpose of the research is to study the role of Euroregions in the provision of sustainable development of border regions of Ukraine on the basis of the analysis of European experience and the research of Ukrainian practice. The paper describes the development of transboundary cooperation in Europe, the peculiarities of the integration processes in the Euroregions, shows the development of Euroregions in Ukraine: „Carpatskyj“, „Bug“, „Nyzhnij Dunaj“, „Dniester“, „Verhnij Prut“, „Dnieper“, „Slobozhanshchyna“, „Yaroslavna“, defines their composition and structure, describes the basic functioning problems, such as low level of social and economic development in comparison with other (central) regions, the peripheral nature of economics, the presence of “a zone of potential political exertion“; the distance from the inner sources of regional security forms their focus on foreign economic cooperation, which makes them fragile to the dynamics of trade and economic relations of Ukraine with the neighbouring countries. The map of attraction of the regions of Ukraine into the European regions is made, in particular the regions that are proposed to be included in the composition of European regions for activation of transboundary cooperation are selected, and -

Transboundary State Reterritorialization in the Romanian-Bulgarian Borderlands

Kramsch Date: 22-08-2011 Additional information available on: http://criticalgeography.wordpress.com 2 Colophon Master Thesis Human Geography Specialization: Europe: Borders, Identities & Governance Title: Transboundary state reterritorialization in the Romanian-Bulgarian borderlands Author: A.M. van Wijhe Student number: 3039048 E-mail: [email protected] Thesis supervisor: Dr. O.T. Kramsch Radboud University Nijmegen Nijmegen School of Management Department of Human Geography Thomas van Aquinostraat 3 P.O. Box 9108 NL – 6500 HK Nijmegen The Netherlands August, 2011 1 Abstract In this research the process of reterritorialization and the development of the Black Sea EUregion and the Romanian-Bulgarian borderlands are analysed. Under the banner of globalisation Europe is increasingly being deterritorialized and its borders are disrupted. While the external border is becoming a spectacle of militarized border enforcement, the internal border appears to be silently eroding. The borderlands of today could be tomorrow's internal spaces. The European integration project and especially its EUregions are changing the relationship between territory, sovereignty and borders. This is also the case in the Romanian-Bulgarian situation where several cross border programs have been set-up, new regional cooperation networks launched and a few million Euro a year is allocated to the border. In the wake of the spatial turn within geography, the rise of EUregions as new transboundary spaces which might gain their own territoriality should gain much more academic attention. Territory is a combination of concepts like land and terrain but also encompasses ideas from the field of history, law and political science. -
