“…Among the first studies along these lines of interest, we can mention Mora et al (2011) who explore the impact of regional membership in Euroregions on the spatial distribution of economic activities across the EU. This study is based on the theory that cross-border neighbourhood effects have a role in explaining regional specialization patterns in the EU.…”

“…In a very recent contribution, Mora, Garcia-Duran, and Millet (2011) look at the contiguity effects on specialization in regions sharing a national border. They take the existence or non-existence of a cross-border regional association (CBR) as the major explanatory variable for the contiguity effects on specialization and find that associated neighboring regions have an impact on specialization patterns, especially when physical contiguity and spatial distance are considered.…”

This paper is a revised empirical chapter of the ex-post evaluation of INTERREG III which was carried out on behalf of the European Commission during 2008 to 2010. One of the tasks was to assess the impact of INTERREG III on harmonious regional development and integration throughout Europe. This paper is focused on INTERREG-Strand A (cross-border cooperation). The empirical analysis, based on a factor with subsequent regression analysis, suggests that the history of cooperation matters predominantly for European Union crossborder economic integration, while the strength of cooperation in terms of strategic partnership or the common understanding of needs for cross-border regional development seems not to matter. Apart from history, the major determinants for cross-border economic integration and cross-border regional disparities are forces outside INTERREG, namely intra-industry trade of the national economies, Economic and Monetary Union and Schengen.

“…Institutionalisation of cross-border policies at the EU level offers the opportunity to examine the consequences of European integration from the perspective of borders and regions. The observation of cross-border cooperation in the EU and the United States provides important insights into the impact of such cooperation on regional development, which depends heavily on the degree of cooperation between the two countries in terms of economic growth and development [12,13]. With this goal in mind, the following basic arguments can be used.…”

Our paper focuses on the cross-border cooperation in regional development. Specifically, it examines the effect of open borders and international cooperation for the sustainable development of regions. We show that barriers hampering the free movement of capital and labour often lead to worsening the economic and social conditions of border regions and have negative effects on the regional development. Moreover, we provide evidence from recent history and examples of the European Union integration to stress the importance of opening borders and installing the well-functioning cross-border cooperation. In addition, we discuss the effects of the European single currency (as expressed in a classical model of the Open Currency Area) to demonstrate the effects of cross-border trade. Our results can be used by the economic experts and policy-makers who are preoccupied with removing trade barriers and economic sanctions and enhancing the economic prosperity.
