“…The prevalence of border disputes in cross-border conflict (as noted by Popescu, 2008;Schultz, 2015;Vazquez, 2015) has sparked research into the underlying causes of these conflicts, their escalation, and the conditions under which they can be resolved (Meinhof, 2003;Kurnicki & Sternberg, 2016). These conflicts can be analysed and categorised based on different aspects such as intensity, degree of actor involvement, and damage to cross-border assets (Arieli, 2016;Berg, 2018).…”

The crisis around the operation of the Turów coal mine and its impact on cross-border relations in the Polish-Czech borderlands is examined in this article. The genesis of the international dispute and its course is analysed on the basis of international relations and border studies theories. Moreover, the specific cross-border relations and asymmetries in the area are studied. Then, the authors discuss the methodology and results of the research through questionnaires and formulate conclusions drawn from the research conducted by the Polish-Czech research team in 2022. The results prove that the nearly two-year Polish-Czech dispute over the Turów mine hurt the cross-border activity of the inhabitants of the Polish-Czech border. Despite alarming media news, this impact was weak and short-lived. It ultimately did not significantly impact the cross-border integration of the inhabitants or cause a deterioration of relations between the Polish and Czech sides of the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa. The crisis was caused by the lack of adequate communication between local governments from Poland and the Czech Republic and insufficient commitment from the local and regional authorities. Another cause was the poor integration of residents in the border area, although the cross-border cooperation epitomised by the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa is not poorly rated.
