Networking in a transnational cooperation space - the case of the Oder partnership

Auteur :
TÖLLE, A.

Description :
The globalisation of economic relations in conjunction with the European integration process has resulted in the creation of strategic networks between cities and regions on a transnational level. The overall motivation is to combine strengths and to balance weaknesses in order to compete with other spaces. In this context, the Polish-German “Oder Partnership” created in 2006 between four voivodships and four federal states including Berlin may be interpreted as a transborder strategy to foster the economic development of the deprived regions from a European perspective. A look on its first steps shows the potentials of the network tool as well as obstacles on the long way to the creation of stable cooperation structures. – (BJ)
