The tool is aimed at facilitating quality employment and cross-border labour mobility through the implementation of 2–7 interdependent projects within a geographically defined subregion of the programme area, with the involvement of SMEs, training institutions, NGOs and municipalities. The author introduces the tool and the nine TAPEs financed by the CBC programme and gives a comprehensive assessment of their outcomes and results from the points of view of cross-border labour market development, integrated soft planning and trust building with a special focus on the aspect of cross-border relevance. The study concludes that the tool does not meet the preliminary expectations: its cross-border relevance is not much stronger than the traditional standalone CBC projects. At the same time, the bottom-up cross-border planning exercise has significant added value which might make the tool attractive for other CBC programmes, too.}, keywords = {Cross-border cooperation; Integrated tools; INTERREG; relevance of projects}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1469-5944}, pages = {1-21} } @article{MTMT:34442228, title = {The list of phone numbers and the paradox of representation : Reflections on resilience in a cross-border context}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34442228}, author = {Ocskay, Gyula}, doi = {10.32976/stratfuz.2023.36}, journal-iso = {É-MO STRAT FÜZ}, journal = {ÉSZAK-MAGYARORSZÁGI STRATÉGIAI FÜZETEK}, volume = {20}, unique-id = {34442228}, issn = {1786-1594}, abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic has generated unharmonised measures on behalf of the national governments without communicating with the local actors of the border areas, the representatives of the existing cross-border structures included. Against the conclusions of several studies discussing the topic, the author claims that, notwithstanding a few exceptions, the cross-border structures established so far all over Europe were not involved in the management of the extreme situation. Instead, these were the interpersonal contacts of border citizens and informal channels through which derogations of strict measures were achieved at the regional and national governments. The author finds the reason of this phenomenon in the ‘paradox of representation’ meaning the controversial procedure through which border areas gradually obtain the legal entity status but they lose their societal basis. To illustrate this procedure, the study refers to three communities of experts of network governance, and, through their theoretical models, it arguments that in parallel with the institutionalisation of crossborder cooperation, its participative aspects gradually weaken. The COVID-19 pandemic clearly showed in practice, how this process stabilised the territorial representation status of the cross-border structures while it emptied the participative platforms of the citizens therein.}, keywords = {CBC; participatory governance; EGTC; pandemic; paradox of representation}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2560-2926}, pages = {61-73} } @article{MTMT:34156601, title = {Hit és tudomány párbeszéde a teremtett világ védelmében}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34156601}, author = {Ocskay, Gyula}, doi = {10.32976/stratfuz.2023.31}, journal-iso = {É-MO STRAT FÜZ}, journal = {ÉSZAK-MAGYARORSZÁGI STRATÉGIAI FÜZETEK}, volume = {20}, unique-id = {34156601}, issn = {1786-1594}, abstract = {Recenzió.

During the last 70 years, the EU managed to generate a new discourse on geographic space opposing the nation-state model profoundly connected to the concept of ‘territoriality’ inherited from the modernity. The EU challenges this modernist concept by creating alternative discourses on space represented by a diverse set of governance structures, including the criss-crossing international (European Union, Schengen Zone, Monetary Union, etc.) the transnational (macro-regional strategies) and the local/regional level (Euroregions, twin-cities, European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation, i.e. EGTC). In this chapter, the authors position the EGTC within the MLG system of the EU with a focus on the role of the groupings in re-shaping the modernist concept of territoriality (marked with strictly protected borders) by creating a new dimension of cross-border spatial integration stretching over administrative borders. When doing this, the EGTCs contribute to the re-interpretation of European space and generate a new discourse on territoriality—within the frames of a new approach to territorial cohesion.}, keywords = {discourse theory; multi-level governance; territorial cohesion; soft spaces; EGTC}, year = {2023}, pages = {191-209}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @article{MTMT:34065922, title = {Határokon át.
