Differentiated by Design? Cross‐Border Cooperation in Europe as Differentiated Integration From Below
Differentiated integration has become a central concept in contemporary theorizing about European integration, reflecting the increasingly multi‐speed, multi‐tier and multi‐menu nature of integration within the European Union (EU). This research note extends the conceptual lens of differentiated integration to the level of cross‐border regions. We argue that variation in speed, depth and territorial scope of integration across cross‐border region…
Regional approaches to cross-border integration: The cases of Saarland and Brandenburg
Regional cross-border strategies represent a recent and under-researched approach to shaping cross-border integration from below. Drawing on Sohn’s framework of cross-border integration as a geo-economic model or a territorial project , this paper examines the content and development of cross-border strategies in two German states: Saarland and Brandenburg. Based on the attempt to sharpen the profile of the Franco-Saarland region, and as a strate…
Multiple levels, multiple streams: How border regions made it into the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle
The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, signed in 2019 by the French President Macron and the German Chancellor Merkel, is widely seen as a major step for border regions on their way towards being fully acknowledged as political entities. However, while much ink has been spilled on the relevance of the treaty for future cross-border cooperation, we know surprisingly little about how that particular aspect actually became the Chapter 4 of the treaty. Given…
Against All Odds? A Discourse Network Analysis of the Political Debate About the German Passenger Car Toll Act
In this article, we analyse the policy process of the German passenger Car Toll Act in Germany by means of a discourse network analysis. The Car Toll Act is particularly interesting as a ‘least-likely case’ for analysing a successful policy adoption as it was highly unpopular and faced massive criticism not only among the opposition but also among the government itself. To contribute to the understanding of the policy process behind such an unlik…
Studying policy transfer and policy learning in border regions. A proposition for interdisciplinary dialogue and a research agenda
In recent years, research on cross-border cooperation has proliferated, also receiving increased attention from political science. Nevertheless, important insights from the literatures on policy learning and transfer have not been systematically introduced into this field of study so far. In this article, we address this shortcoming by offering an analytical framework for analysing policy learning and transfer in (cross-)border regions, thereby f…
The mass media, welfare state reforms, and electoral punishment
The question to what extent voters punish governments for cutting the welfare state is an unsettled issue in social policy research. Our contribution addresses this shortcoming by systematically analyzing how media reporting about legislative changes to the welfare state affects the public agenda and citizens’ vote intentions while controlling for the influence of actual cutbacks and expansions. In our analysis we examine the case of Germany from…
