Processes of de-frontiering between Galicia and Northern Portugal

As experiências de cooperação transfronteiriça são recorrentemente apontadas como laboratórios vivos da integração europeia, já que permitem corrigir certos desencontros simbólicos e institucionais provocados pela artificialidade das fronteiras estatais. No caso de Portugal e Espanha isto é especialmente relevante, pois grande parte do século XX esteve marcado por uma divisão fronteiriça rígida e fortemente con...

Processes of de-frontiering between Galicia and Northern Portugal

Cross-border cooperation experiences are often cited as living laboratories of European integration, as they help to correct certain symbolic and institutional mismatches caused by the artificiality of state borders. In the case of Portugal and Spain, this is particularly relevant, as much of the 20th century was marked by a rigid and heavily controlled border division under the Iberian dictatorships.

O valor intrínseco da escala regional é, contudo, uma ...

Territories that refuse to fade away: Insights from the Províncias of Northern ...

We want to understand the relevance of territories that, despite not being integrated into the political-administrative structure of the state, refuse to fade away.
