Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Faced with the growth of cross-border markets and the new opportunities they bring to players involved in cross-border cooperation, there is an urgent need to develop common policies and strategies. These policies must promote the interoperability of legal systems and of services and the rationalization of resources and means through the pooling of knowledge and competencies. The aim is to strengthen the harmonious development of partner towns and the cohesion of the entire region. This approach aims to optimize the services provided to borderlands citizens (for example, cultural services, touristic, transport, medical) and lead to the implementation of cross-border cooperation projects. It comprises the joint planning of strategic priorities for the future of the cross-border territory, the cross-border establishment and management of public services and facilities, and financing of integrated cooperation initiatives. It is very important that in their cross-border initiatives, local or regional authorities think in terms of “co-financing” by organizing common "roundtables", i.e., by mobilizing all of the levels concerned to secure financing for the cross-border project. In this context, this Special Issue encourages researchers and scholars to send contributions on these critical issues or about any other related topic that may promote the conceptual and practical development of public services in cross-border cities and regions.
