Cross-border cooperation in the EU: Euroregions amid multilevel governance and re-territorialization. European Planning Studies. 2020;28(1):35-56.

The article focuses on Euroregions as formal organizations in the field of cross-border cooperation. By using a data set of 61 Euroregions considered to be particularly active, the study investigates the characteristics of cross-border cooperation agreements. For each Euroregion, cross-country comparisons take into account the following essential parameters: the number of actors involved in the agreement, their administrative and political nature, as well as the official goals pursued. From a descriptive perspective, the study aims to provide some useful classifications regarding the wide variety of cross-border experiences that have developed in Europe in recent decades. From the analytical perspective, the paper challenges enthusiastic claims that interpret Euroregions as effective political instruments for re-territorialization or new modes of cross-border multilevel governance.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in European Planning Studies on 2020, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09654313.2019.1623973.info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09654313.2019.1623973EuroregionCross-border cooperationMultilevel governanceRe-territorializationComparative analysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
