CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION – THE BARRIERS ANALYSIS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The issue concerns the barriers limiting the process of cross-border cooperation (CBC) in Euroregions. There are two identified kinds of barriers coming out from the cross-border environment and the specific CBC circumstances in Euroregions. These barriers are identified and analysed with reference to the strategic goals of Cieszyn Silesia Euroregion, located on the Polish-Czech border. The goal of this paper is to point out the possible ways to limit the key barriers hindering the achievement of Euroregion goals, thanks to the commitment of the three key CBC stakeholders. The results of the research are analysed in comparison with other research concerning EUROACE Euroregion, located between the Portuguese and Spanish territories. Research shows that in both Euroregions similar ‘external’ barriers to the development of cross-border cooperation are identified, which are characteristics of peripheral regions, distant from national and regional decision centres. At the same time, the study identified ‘internal’ barriers to the development of cross-border cooperation, which most strongly affect the social objectives of cooperation and can be reduced at the local level by a skilful policy of local governments that should create the development of Euroregions and mobilize non-governmental organizations and entrepreneurs for cooperation.<br/><br/>
