CES is pleased to host a research seminar, “Integration and disintegration in Central Europe. Border twin towns as laboratories of transborder cooperation,” with Dr. Jarosław Jańczak, Chair of European Studies, European University Viadrina, and short-term visiting scholar in September with the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS).
Abstract: This research paper looks at integration and disintegration processes in Central Europe from the perspective of border twin towns. The premise of the paper is that integration processes, as seen from the perspective of the border, evidence deboundarization, which is inspired by continental integration, but also show the presence of the contradictory phenomenon of defrontierization following EU accession. These processes depend on the category of boundaries in a region and are related to the context of bilateral relations between neighboring countries, as well as to the Europeanization of the internal and external borders of the Schengen zone.
