Introduction: European Union Borders with Ukraine
This special section, European Union Borders with Ukraine, provides a unique assessment of the understudied process of cross-border relationship-building that takes place between Ukraine, the European Union, and EU member states. Collectively, the six papers look at the progressive alignment of Ukraine with the Visegrad countries, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, and Ukraine, assessing the state of democratic and security concerns, regiona…
Cross-border Interaction Dynamics in the Everyday Life in Kalimantan Border, Indonesia
Cross-border activities in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo, are often considered as coming forth out of insufficient regional development, necessitating cross-border engagements. This cross-border engagement is often appraised from a strong national sentiment by other Indonesian nationals. Yet, beyond the rhetoric on national versus regional development needs, little has been discussed on how border crossings are understood from the bor…

The Dutch–German Border: Open in Times of Coronavirus Lockdowns
This essay portrays policies, practices and perceptions at the Dutch– German border during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that this border was considered one of the most open borders in the world. The first part of the essay deals with the waves of policies and other initiatives aimed at limiting cross-border traffic that have been introduced since March 2020 trying to curb the pandemic. The second part illustrates to what extent…
Looking for causes of effects in cases: Evaluating intermunicipal collaboration in The Netherlands applying QCA
Economic geography and regional planning suffer from a lack of clear answers with respect to the question what methods to use to systematically explain complex territorial phenomena such as regional development. Rather than the universal effect of causes, analysis should focus on patterns revealed through case-specific effects of enabling and disabling conditions. Using qualitative configurational analysis (QCA), this paper illustrates the releva…
Understanding borders through dynamic processes: Capturing relational motion from south-west China’s radiation centre
This research supports the evolution of border studies by advancing recently elaborated theoretical insights convincingly captured as borders in motion and the multiscalar nature of borders. Drawing on ongoing empirical research in Yunnan province, China, the combined perspectives tender a new approach of ‘relational motion’ to inform analyses interrogating the complex and dynamic nature of border-related phenomena occurring in, across and beyond…
Stretching the Border: Shopping, Petty Trade and Everyday Life Experiences in the Polish–Ukrainian Borderland
This article examines the practices and experiences of Ukrainian border crossers who are engaged in informal small‐scale economic practices, namely shopping and petty trade, at the Medyka border crossing in Poland. By examining the societal, network and territorial embeddedness of the economic activities of these border crossers, we aim to shed light on the practices and experiences that form part of their daily lives. For many, the presence of t…

Mobility and Migration Choices: Thresholds to Crossing Borders
Consumer mobility and the communication of difference: Reflecting on cross‐border shopping practices and experiences in the Dutch‐German borderland
The current debate on consumption and retailing represents shoppers as highly mobile and looking for different experiences. In an attempt to find satisfaction, shoppers are assumed to explore many places and countries. It is in cross‐border regions that large functional, physical, and socio‐cultural differences can be experienced in a relatively small area. Such differences could make crossing national borders appealing as well as unappealing. Th…
People, borders, trajectories: An approach to cross-border mobility and immobility in and to the European Union
In this paper we present the outlines of a geographical approach to cross-border mobility, which in this article we use synonymously with international migration. The approach consists of three constitutive parts that we discern in international migration: people, borders and trajectories. People decide to cross borders or not. In doing so, they can be internationally mobile or immobile, depending on the destination they take into consideration d…
Drifting in a Global Space of Textile Flows: Apparel Bazaars in Poland's Łódź Region
This paper examines the influence of globalization and the circulation of money, goods and people on the functioning of post-socialist apparel bazaars in Poland's Łódź region. The theoretical backbone of the study is presented first, followed by an introduction to the general phenomenon of the bazaar. The following sections then address the temporal, spatial and institutional contexts of the development of the Łódź region's textile industry, and …
Shopping, Borders and Unfamiliarity: Consumer Mobility in Europe
National borders are often considered to constrain the international flow of products, services, people and capital. However, borders and differences between countries could also promote cross‐border mobility. This contribution investigates what discourages and encourages cross‐border shopping mobility. This is done by categorising differences between countries into more ‘rational differences’ on the one hand and more ‘emotional differences’ on t…
Mobility across Borders: Contextualizing Local Strategies to Circumvent Visa and Work Permit Requirements
This article focuses on the structuring capacities of mobility strategies that are oriented towards, and seek to challenge, institutional borders. Positioned within the debate on the role of context in the 'new' economic geographies, and tempted to adopt elements of the Marxist-inspired strategic-relational approach to the geographical study of institutions, it emphasizes the creative entrepreneurial ability of mobile and immobile actors to influ…

The Power of Cross‐Border Labour Market Immobility
In this paper we critically address and interrogate the issue of cross‐border labour mobility in the European Union. Despite fifteen years of policy stimulation, cross‐border labour movements are still exceptions and not the dominant pattern. It is argued that it is a further understanding of the concept of im mobility more than mobility that should be at the core of the research on cross‐border labour markets. It is the critical awareness of the…
Communicating borders
On the value of a transatlantic dialogue on border research
This essay addresses two central questions regarding border research in Europe and North America. The first concerns the evaluation of the extent to which this special issue contributes to a proper introduction of European studies to Journal of Borderlands Studies (JBS) readers. The second questions deals with the value added by a transatlantic dialogue to the future of border research. This special issue introduces European border studies and th…
