“…There is no uniform cooperation pattern that could be easily applied to the wide variety of borderlands. Relationships between the actors in various border regions are shaped by their context, which make them incomparable (Leibenath and Knippschild ).…”

“…Socio‐cultural determinants— national minorities, the language knowledge, cultural differences, national stereotypes, perception of neighbors, historical baggage—play a very significant role in transborder cooperation development (Galasińska and Galasiński ). For historical reasons, the cultural barrier is the most important in the western border regions (Krätke ; Meinhof and Galasiński ; Leibenath and Knippschild ). A bit less important, but still noticeable, is the cultural barrier at the eastern border.…”

The aim of this paper was to analyze the role of border and borderland type in transborder cooperation. To this end, 591 projects under six Interreg IIIA Programs in which Polish border regions participated from 2004 to 2006 were examined. These programs were compared to identify the various factors influencing projects in different border regions. Although research on cooperation usually focuses on a national scale, actual cooperation depends largely on regional and local conditions, which are the focus of this study. Despite a common legal and institutional framework, the Interreg projects were not all realized in the same way. Different local conditions had impacts on programs and implementation. Therefore, the effectiveness and achievement of transborder cooperation objectives depended on the modification of each program to specific regional conditions.

vaisHar a., Dvořák P., nosková H., ZaPletalová J., 2017. Present consequences of the post-war migration in the Czech borderland for regional development. Quaestiones Geographicae 36(4), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 5-15, 8 figs.AbstrAct: Czechia lost more than 3,000,000 inhabitants as a result of the WW II. Germans displaced from the borderland formed the largest part. The newcomers after 1945 were of a different character -without any relation to their new settlements. This population formed a special social milieu familiar with the socialist way of thinking and that of a suppressed middle class. The consequences of it are seen in demographic, economic, environmental and social areas. After 1989, the factories in the borderland were mostly closed down, armies left the territory, people were not prepared to start their own businesses. Large-scale landscape protection formed a new barrier. Tourism is not able to substitute for the decrease in employment. The hope in cross-border collaboration has been overestimated.

“…Indeed, the goals were to overcome borders as "a scar of history" and that was the main incentive to start cross-border cooperation for many border regions. However, paradoxically, it seems that the more cross-border cooperation developed, the greater the awareness regarding the persistence of the borders in border regions and the perceptions that borders do divide the EU, that the Union is regionally and nationally diverse (Medeiros 2015, Cojanu andRobu 2014;Ciok and Racyk 2008;Leibenath and Knippschild 2005). Also, after the integration of the Schengen Agreement into the EU Amsterdam Treaty in 1997, external problems of border management progressively became more apparent: refugees and migrant management (and mis-management) led to increasing difficulties in cross-border relations across the internal and external borders of the EU.…”

This special section (thanks to the Jean Monnet Network, a European Union Erasmus+ Grant) explores the impact of migration crises on European borders, internal and external, from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. The following articles adopt comparative, historical, legal, sociological, and discursive approaches in order to confront questions arising from the 2015 Schengen and Dublin political crises, which seem to have put an end to the ideal of a “Europe without borders”.
