Objective
This project will investigate the extent, nature and forms of cross-border cooperation in border regions in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova with EU new members and upcoming accession states, in order to assess its contribution to entrepreneurship and transformation. Requirements for successful co-operation, especially the role of trust and learning, will be assessed in relation to other factors influencing the success of these relationships.
The specific aims are:
(i)To assess the potential for cross-border co-operation on different levels and between different actors such as local authorities, business associations and support agencies, informal groups, new, small and larger firms, in different regions in contributing to the development of entrepreneurship and sustainable regional development in NIS, which have/will have new borders with current and upcoming EU members
(ii)To identify and assess factors influencing the development and sustainability of different forms of cross-border partnerships between various actors in selected border regions of Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova and new or upcoming EU members respectively
(iii)To assess the role of individual and collective learning at the regional level as well as personal and institutional trust for fostering or impeding cross-border co-operation and its contribution to economic development, together with the main implications for our understanding of business behavior and practices of business support
(iv)To identify and assess the potential implications of EU enlargement on entrepreneurship development in Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova with particular attention to the border regions
(v)To develop a typology of co-operation in border regions with regard to the future contribution of intra-regional enterprise, household and institutional partnerships to economic development
(vi)To draw out the implications of the analysis of cross-border co-operation for policy makers and practitioners, involved in the fields of entrepreneurship and regional development in NIS and EU member states.
The project combines desk-top based literature reviews with empirical studies of cross-border partnerships, based on qualitative research methodologies, including observations, semi-structured in-depth case interviews, in order to capture the heterogeneity of cross-border partnerships, to enable an assessment of their contributions to entrepreneurship and regional development, together with relevant policy recommendations. Analysis will include the development of a typology of different types of actors in different types of region and different forms of co-operation. Key outputs will include a project report, together with working papers linked to specific tasks, and an edited book. Results will be disseminated both through an interactive Website dedicated to the project, and through seminars. Policy makers, practitioners and other academics are actively encouraged to contribute to the project.
