  • Re-bordering Schengen? Explaining the spatial patterns of border control measures

    Open AccessTobias Chilla, Dominik Bertram et al.ARTICLERegional Science Policy & Practice2026

    This article examines the temporary reintroduction of internal border controls within the Schengen area and its implications for spatial and political integration. While European cross-border integration has intensified over recent decades, recent crises, most notably the migration crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, have exposed the vulnerability of a ‘borderless’ Europe. The study addresses two research questions: How can temporary border control…

  • Mapping flows, shaping spaces

    Open AccessM Berzi, Mattia Albertini et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2026

    Knowing where, how and for what purposes people frequently cross borders has significant policy implications. However, limited data availability often hinders effective decision-making. The lack of granular, reliable and comparable data frequently leads to an underestimation of the true scale of cross-border movements within the EU. Additionally, the assessment of the socioeconomic potential of border regions does not consider the hypothetical el…

  • Cross-border functional areas (CBFA)

    Open AccessStefan Hippe, Tobias Chilla et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2026

    Functional cross-border integration in Europe has intensified over recent decades as liberalization processes have increased border permeability. Given its policy relevance, the underlying mechanisms have been widely studied. However, existing approaches to measuring cross-border functionality and identifying cross-border functional areas (CBFAs) remain fragmented and methodologically diverse. The lack of pan-European data at a fine scale has als…

  • Different impacts of similar crises? The financial and Covid-19 crisis in border and non-border regions

    Open AccessStefan HippeARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2025

    The last two decades have seen an increase in the number and intensity of shocks and crises. The financial crisis of 2008/2009 and the COVID-19 crisis of 2020/2021 have led to economic recessions. During the COVID-19 crisis, national borders and the impact of crises in border regions were often the subject of political debate and media coverage. Border-regional resilience has only been discussed in the academic discourse for the last few years. T…

  • Convergence and resilience in border regions

    Open AccessStefan Hippe, Dominik Bertram et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2024

    Border regions have often been analyzed regarding cohesion and convergence. However, their development in times of crisis is a relatively new field of interest. This study combines convergence and resilience measurement and explores how both concepts relate. The empirical operationalization is a time series based on GDP trends since the financial crisis for all European border and non-border regions. Firstly, results show that border regions have…

  • Cross-border mobility

    Open AccessDominik Bertram, Tobias Chilla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies2023Cited by: 1References: 5

    Mobility and transport patterns in border regions are highly relevant topics, as these regions still tend to be areas of limited accessibility, embedded in complex political settings of transport policy. Moreover, the contemporary call for a transition to sustainable mobility applies also to border regions. Nevertheless, limited data availability and harmonization across borders hamper the debate. In this paper, we develop a methodological approa…
