Abstract

CHURCH A. and REID P. (1999) Cross-border co-operation, institutionalization and political space across the English Channel, Reg. Studies 33 , 643-655. Cross-border initiatives are based on flexible co-operative networks and have many of the characteristics which the institutionalist perspective argues are often present in regions that have developed effective institutional forms. Transfrontier programmes involving local authorities in northern France and southern England are examined. The paper explores the significance of cross-border strategies for the development and restructuring of the role of local governance in institutional arrangements and territories. It also considers the interaction between cross-border spaces, the transnational spatial planning regions promoted by the European Commission and the emerging regional politics of South East England. CHURCH A. and REID P. (1999) La cooperation transfrontaliere, l'institutionnalisation et l'espace politique outre Manche, Reg. Studies 33 , 643-655. Les initiatives transfrontalieres sont fondees sur des reseaux de cooperation souples et ont beaucoup des caracteristiques qui, du point de vue institutionnel, sont souvent presentes dans les regions qui ont developpe des institutions efficaces. Des programmes transfrontaliers auxquels participent les autorites locales dans le nord de la France et dans le sud de l'Angleterre se voient examiner. Cet article etudie l'importance des strategies trans frontalieres quant au developpement et a la restruct uration du role du gouvernement local dans les structures institutionnelles et les territoires. L'article aborde aussi l'interaction des espaces transfrontaliers, des zones d'etude et d'amenagement du territoire transnationales promues par la Commission europeenne, et de la politique regionale naissante du sud-est de l'Angleterre. CHURCH A. und REID P. (1996) Grenzuberschreitende Kooperation, Institutionalisierung und politischer Raum jenseits des Armelkanals, Reg. Studies 33 , 643-655. Grenzuberschreitende Initiativen stutzen sich auf flexible kooperative Netzwerke, und weisen viele Eigenschaften auf, die sich vom Standpunkt der institutionellen Perspektive her gesehen oft in Gegenden befinden, die effektive institutionelle Formen entwickelt haben. Es werden grenzuberschreitende Programme uberpruft, die Ortsverwaltungen in Nordfrankreich und Sudengland einbeziehen Der Aufsatz untersucht die Bedeutung grenzuberschreitender Strategien fur die Entwicklung und Umstrukturierung der Rolle der ortlichen Verwaltung in institutionellen Vereinbarungen und Staatsgebieten. Er berucksichtigt auch die Wechselwirkung zwischen grenzuberschreitenden Raumen, die ubernationalen Raumplanungs regionen, die von der europaischen Kommission gefordert werden, und die aufkommende Regionalpolitik Sudenglands.
