Objective
Research objectives and content
Cross-border regions are a new form of subnational territorial unit, emerging in the context of European integration and globalisation. This project aims to undertake an original analysis of CBRs as spaces of indigenous economic development. Its primary objectives are: a) developing an appropriate conceptual apparatus; b) identifying the institutional conditions for and the obstacles to successful CBRs; c) generating policy-guidelines for cross-border endogenous development strategies. The elaboration of the theoretical approach is based on recent institutionalist theories which emphasise the importance of bottom-up governance mechanisms rather than top-down government. Since CBRs are not politico-administrative units, it is postulated that crossborder economic development is mainly based on governance leading to similar milieu innovateur-effects as shown for subnational regions. This will be demonstrated by several in-depth case studies on European CBRs including both successful and failed cases, which will provide guidelines for a bottom-up regional and innovation policy both at the European and cross-border regional levels.
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)
? The project is directed towards a PhD degree and is accompanied by a recognised research training scheme.
? Leading knowledge in institutional economics and economic sociology will be acquired as well as methodological skills for operationalising institutional processes for empirical research. ? General research competence will be enhanced through academic 'synergy effects' including working groups, informal contacts and opportunities for publications. The project will function as a foundation for a research career.
