Instrumental and cordial logics of cross-border cooperation in Europe: Toward a game-theoretic approach
Le réchauffement climatique: Enjeu crucial du XXI e siècle
Le réchauffement climatique lié aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre des sociétés techno-industrielles est de plus en plus abordé par les médias et les décideurs. Pourtant, peu connaissent sa gravité et ses enjeux. Cela est lié à divers éléments dont : l’activité des lobbys, le manque de volonté de la communauté internationale, l’ampleur d’un phénomène dépassant ce qu’a connu l’humanité depuis 12 000 ans, ainsi que des perspectives inquiétantes …

What types of cultural cooperation exist in European cross-border areas
Since 1992, culture has been an official competence of the European Union. De facto, the EU has the legitimacy and means to intervene and change collective representations and social dynamics, including in border regions, in order to bring people together and build a Europe ‘united in diversity’. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the cross-border dynamics in cultural matters, and to examine the realization of cultural projects as a drivi…
An empirical approach to cross-border spatial planning initiatives in Europe
Cross-border spatial planning is a means by which to enhance territorial continuities between border regions still hindered by differences and sometimes tensions, and thus to make more tangible the political paradigm of European integration. This article offers a systematic analysis of all the Interreg IV A projects related to cross-border spatial planning that were conducted along all Europe’s internal borders between 2007 and 2013. It reveals t…
The Spread of Farming Economy in the Western Mediterranean: A Short Reply to Ammerman (2021)
Manen et al. provide here a reply to the critical comment published by A. J. Ammerman regarding their article “The Neolithic Transition in the Western Mediterranean: a complex and non-linear diffusion process—the radiocarbon record revisited,” published in 2019 in Radiocarbon . They also use this occasion to reaffirm the need to elaborate novel interpretive frameworks that combine both geo-chronological and cultural data
Mobility planning in cross-border metropolitan regions: The European and North American experiences
This paper investigates the cooperation logics within European and North American cross-border metropolitan regions to explain how institutional actors respond to the challenges of globalization. The focus is on analysing the relationship between concepts of space and planning to provide insights into the way cross-border metropolitan regions are produced, and on how the border is conceived. The hypothesis is that mobility galvanizes stakeholders…
Everything All Right at the Internal EU Borders? The Ambivalent Effects of Cross-Border Integration and the Rise of Euroscepticism
The policy of the European Union, which promotes a vision of Europe without borders and has fostered the development of cooperation across borders over 25 years, has led, in some parts of Europe, to the emergence of so-called integrated cross-border regions. Thus far, the increase of cross-border flows and interactions has always been a normative and almost unquestioned policy paradigm. However, tendencies of re-bordering and signs of growing Eur…
A multidimensional measurement of the integration between European border regions
Cross-border integration in Europe is a complex and multifaceted process, which has contrasted impacts on border regions. In order to contribute to better depict it, this paper provides, with the help of statistical indicators, a systematic and multidimensional analysis of cross-border integration along all the EU internal borders. It highlights the similarities and discrepancies that can be observed between the different European regions with re…
The Neolithic Transition in the Western Mediterranean: A Complex and Non-Linear Diffusion Process—The Radiocarbon Record Revisited
The Neolithic transition is a particularly favorable field of research for the study of the emergence and evolution of cultures and cultural phenomena. In this framework, high-precision chronologies are essential for decrypting the rhythms of emergence of new techno-economic traits. As part of a project exploring the conditions underlying the emergence and dynamics of the development of the first agro-pastoral societies in the Western Mediterrane…
Asie du Sud-Est, 1997-2019: 22 Ans entre Fukuyama et Huntington
Introduction L’année 1997 constitue un moment charnière pour l’Asie du Sud-Est. En effet, elle a vu une conjonction d’éléments qui ont marqué la région, tant dans ses logiques de fonctionnement et sa structure, que dans la gestion de grands dossiers économiques et politiques, même si ce n’est pas de manière simple ou linéaire. Une lecture via le prisme de deux grandes théories géopolitiques opposées apparues en 1989 – celles de Fukuyama et de Hun…
Exploring cross-border integration in Europe: How do populations cross borders and perceive their neighbours
Since its creation, the European Union seems to be guided by the idea that an increase in cross-border flows contributes to more European unity. Thus, emphasis has been placed for instance on lowering customs tariffs and encouraging the free movement of goods and people. However, if the opening up of borders creates new opportunities for some residents of border regions, there are others who may not benefit. For this reason, and in a context char…
Eurometropolis Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai: Cross-border integration with or without the border
For 30 years, the opening of internal borders in the European Union has engendered many cross-border exchanges in borderlands. European cross-border regions created within this context are thus framed and characterized by the simultaneous dynamics of bordering and cross-border integration. This paper examines these two processes and the analysis is based on the representations of stakeholders from the Eurometropolis of Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai. It …
European Border Regions in Comparison: Overcoming Nationalistic Aspects or Re-nationalization
In the context of European projects aimed at reducing inequalities between regions—notably through the Regional Policy—the issues of regional identities and historical legacies invite reflection, o
Theoretical Framework of the Cross-border Space Production – The Case of the Eurometropolis Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai
The purpose of this article is to outline a theoretical reflection on the production of cross-border space to capture its complexity and to analyze its structure. A conceptual framework has been developed to understand this issue. It reveals firstly that contextual factors are involved in the production of cross-border space, because they influence the territorial dynamics within it. On the other hand, two processes intervene: the bordering highl…
Challenges of Cross-Border Spatial Planning in the Metropolitan Regions of Luxembourg and Lille
The regional policy of the EU aims at harmonization and cohesion in the development of European regions. To achieve this objective, the outlying border territories are engaged in a process of territorial integration. In this context, the issue of spatial planning on both sides of the borders is one of the main challenges for the border regions. The aims of the paper, which focuses on two cross-border metropolitan areas (Luxembourg and Lille), are…
Gambling with the Land. The Contemporary Evolution of Southeast Asia Agriculture, Rodolphe De Koninck & Jean-François Rousseau: Singapore, NUS Press, 2012, xv-187 p
En une époque où les institutions de recherche ou de « développement » multiplient les bases de données en ligne, et où l’on peut se procurer aisément des statistiques sur la plupart des sujets, il pourrait paraître dépassé de publier un livre compilant des informations chiffrées sur l’agriculture de l’Asie. C’est pourtant le pari qu’ont fait Rodolphe De Koninck et Jean-François Rousseau dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche canadien sur la t…
Cross-border metropolitan governance: The multi-faceted state power
Metropolitan regions have become one of the most appropriate scales to define efficient governance networks for economic and territorial development. The state still is the key actor of these partnerships. Yet the question remains whether cross-border metropolitan regions represent a new point of reference that puts state power in question or whether they only reorganize it. The centrality of state power will be examined by looking at two network…
Binding Cross‐Border Regions: An Analysis of Cross‐Border Governance in L ille‐ K ortrijk‐ T ournai Eurometropolis
While the relatively free and frequent flow of traffic across international boundaries is an essential foundation of cross‐border regions, cross‐border public transit systems are the ultimate symbols of metropolitan integration. This paper investigates the governance of the cross‐border transit system in Eurometropolis of L ille‐ K ortrijk‐ T ournai between F rance and B elgium. It relies on a qualitative analysis of actors and institutions as we…
Comparing Cross-border Metropolitan Integration in Europe: Towards a Functional Typology
This article analyses the process of spatial integration in ten European cross-border metropolitan regions by comparing three indicators, relating to flows of cross-border commuters, differentials of gross domestic product per capita and residents’ citizenship. Our results allow, firstly, confirmation of the hypothesis that the greater the economic disparities, the greater the level of interactions measured by cross-border commuting. Our work als…
Political rescaling and metropolitan governance in cross-border regions: Comparing the cross-border metropolitan areas of Lille and Luxembourg
In the last 20 years, the number of cross-border cooperation structures in Europe has exploded owing to political and financial support by the European Union aimed at encouraging cohesion and developing peripheral regions. These policies are part of processes of de-bordering and political rescaling that have profoundly affected cross-border areas by creating new institutional territories and political structures. The purpose of this paper is to s…

Crisis and uncertainties as a sign of a lack of Timorese project of society
In 2002, at the time of the accession to independence, the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste was regularly presented as the “poorest country of Asia” and as a State that the United Nations had to construct “from scratch”. These formulations lead to mistakes. Timor-Leste is rich of resources in hydrocarbons, but also of a real agricultural potential. Furthermore, the Timorese have deep and strong traditions that constitute a very rich culture. In…
Timor-Leste face à la récurrence des crises: Failed State, ou pays en quête de projet
Après presque vingt-cinq ans d’occupation indonésienne, le référendum du 30 août 1999 a montré que la très grande majorité de la population ne souhaitait pas vivre sous contrôle étranger. Dix ans plus tard, la série de crises qui a troublé le territoire interroge ceux qui avaient considéré le processus d’accession à l’indépendance comme un succès.Dès novembre-décembre 2002, des manifestations ont amené la destruction de bâtiments administratifs e…

Trois siècles dans l'île du teck. Les politiques forestières aux Indes néerlandaises (1602-1942)
Among the Western colonial powers, the Netherlands knew one of the longest periods of implantation, extending over more than three centuries. Their territorial control, however, was for a long time limited to Java, « the island of teak », thanks to which the Dutch would be able to develop an important commercial fleet. From the 18th century, over-exploitation and uncontroled clearings caused a severe degradation of the Javanese forests, which, in…

Beyrouth, Grand Beyrouth
Beyrouth, Grand-Beyrouth. Derrière le titre pour le moins laconique de ce livre, il n'est pas seulement question de la taille de l'agglomération beyrouthine. Pour rendre compte des débats et des prises de position -implicites ou non - relatifs au développement de l'urbanisation de Beyrouth depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, on a plus fortement mobilisé la notion de limite et celle d'étendue ; celles de territoire et d'hinterland ont aussi été mises…

Timor Lorosa'e 1930-2001. Partis politiques et processus électoraux à hauts risques
East-Timor, a former Portuguese colony annexed by the Indonesian army in 1976, was in the headlines in August 1999 during the referendum organised under the aegis of the United Nations, where more than 78% of the population voted for independence. Although presented as a "first" in the history of the country, this event was not without precedent, since a number of elections have been staged since the 1930's. However, the first real popular partic…
