El presente artículo reflexiona sobre cómo la globalización económicaafecta a la vida de las mujeres que trabajan en la industria de exportaciónen espacios fronterizos marcados por la porosidad de dicha frontera. Hemos queridointerrogarnos acerca de cómo lo macro afecta a lo micro, coadyuvando a lageneración de espacios glolocales, donde la vivencia transfronteriza y la migración(interna o internacional) adquiere relevancia. Para ello se han escogido dosrelatos biográficos (para cada caso estudiado) que nos ayudan a ejemplificar dichasvivencias, enfatizando la función expresiva del enfoque biográfico al que se refiereBertaux. Ambos casos se han seleccionado de una investigación más amplia querecoge la vida de ochenta mujeres que cuentan con experiencia laboral en la industriade exportación en la frontera de México con EEUU y la de Marruecos conEspaña.This article reflects on how economic globalization affects the livesof women working in the export industry in border areas marked by the porosity ofsaid border. We wanted to ask ourselves about how the macro affects the micro,helping to generate glolocal spaces, where the cross-border experience and migration(internal or international) becomes relevant. To this end, two biographicalaccounts have been chosen (for each case studied) that help us to exemplify theseexperiences, emphasizing the expressive function of the biographical approach towhich Bertaux refers. Both cases have been selected from a wider investigationthat includes the lives of more than a hundred and fifty people (eighty women) whohave work experience in the export industry on the border of Mexico with the USand Morocco with Spain.

The article examines the cross-border trade of the Russian regions, taking into account the indicators of its volume and commodity structure, and the level of economic complexity. It is concluded that the cross-border trade in Russian regions has, in general, low intensity. This is due to several factors: most of the border areas are located on the economic periphery, both of Russia and of neighboring countries, there are physical and geographical barriers in many areas, and the development of the border area is low. In some cases, the low economic potential of a neighboring country or the existing geopolitical restrictions prevent the growth of trade. Against this background, two sections of the border area stand out: the Russian-Belarusian and the Russian-Chinese. In the first case, the development of trade is facilitated by the absence of customs barriers, historic ties and ethno-cultural proximity, a high degree of infrastructure development of border areas; in the second – by the huge scale of the economy of the neighboring country and a large potential volume of trade with it. In terms of the commodity structure of cross-border trade and its complexity, Russian border regions are usually suppliers of relatively simple goods: raw materials or products of the first processing stages, and import goods of higher complexity, which generally corresponds to the foreign trade specialization of Russia. In 2013–2019, the volume of cross-border trade in Russian regions significantly decreased, mainly due to a reduction in consumer and investment imports caused by a decrease in demand. The strongest decline occurred in cross-border trade with Ukraine. The volume of cross-border trade increased during this period in the Russian-Finnish and Russian-Estonian sections of the border (due to an increase in the volume of exports of nickel matte and mineral fertilizers). The changes in the commodity structure of cross-border trade that took place in 2013–2019 indicate the consolidation of the existing specialization of Russian border regions as suppliers of raw materials and simple products in trade with neighboring countries (except for the republics of the former USSR)

The text deals with the cross-border co-operation of universities as a possible new research topic in border studies. We identified two important associations of universities operating in border areas in the EU core and two associations gathering universities from Czech, Polish and Slovak areas. Then we tried to identify the areas in which these universities co-operate. It turned out that the principal difference is in significantly higher level of functional cross-border integration of the universities in the EU core, which is evidenced mainly by higher number of joint study programmes. We believe that the topic is promising and deserves much higher attention, as it points at new and not really exploited cross-border integration potential for universities located in border areas of V4 countries.

Cross Border Cooperation

The cross-border cooperation is an element of international cooperation allowing border areas to develop. Polish border areas are very much diversified , in respect of the development, especially weakly developed are terrains situated along eastern border. The chance of the development of those regions is to cooperate, especially in the aspect of using financial resources form programs of cross-border cooperation of the European Union. The aim of the study is to point benefits and barriers of border areas development caused by the cross-border cooperation on the example of eastern regions, taking into consideration euro regions: Neman, Bug and Carpathians.

The aim of the article is to show the elements of cooperation that foster the connection of border cities, with particular emphasis on infrastructure, means of transport and tourism, using the example of coastal cities. An example of such a place is the island of Uznam and the coastal cities of Heringsdorf (Germany) and Świnoujście (Poland) separated by the state border. With the opening of the internal borders of the European Union, it became possible to organise the undeveloped spaces between the settlement units in the cross-border areas. This is aimed at both: managing the initial border and the related elements (which can lead to their visual disappearance – destruction, deliberate dismantling and so on – and to maintaining the visibility of these elements) and at symbolically connecting the space by blurring or symbolically highlighting the elements of the border or integration (such as lines, inscriptions, monuments).In the case of Świnoujście and Heringsdorf, the most important elements of the symbolic connection of the neighbouring countries were the creation of border crossings, the launch of ship cruises and bus connections. Moreover, the border has become a symbol of barriers and also of integration, that is, a connecting element. In 2011, the Cross-border Promenade Świnoujście-Heringsdorf was commissioned. It is one of the most interesting architectural projects showing the integration of the states. The promenade itself, as well as special monuments, plaques and border markings have a high symbolic value and therefore function as tourist attractions. At the same time, they contribute to the protection of heritage. The border is an element of modernisation and an impulse for economic growth. Thanks to the European Union’s policy, it is also a specific place for access to financial resources.

<p>Las bandas fronterizas europeas presentan una serie de obstáculos y de estrangulamientos que han condicionado su desarrollo socioeconómico debido a su situación marginal y periférica respecto a los centros administrativos y de decisión política. También, esta localización en el borde nacional y en el extremo regional ha influido de forma negativa en el espacio rayano de Castilla y León con el Centro y el Norte de Portugal. Con el fin de paliar las desventajas geográficas de las áreas de frontera, la Unión Europea puso en marcha la Iniciativa Comunitaria INTERREG, específica para las zonas fronterizas, que complementa las acciones de los fondos estructurales y de cohesión derivados de la política regional. La aplicación de esta Iniciativa en la franja fronteriza castellanoleonesa, entre los años 1991 y 2006 y, tras su desaparición, del Programa Operativo de Cooperación Transfronteriza (POCTEP) durante 2007 al 2013, ha ayudado al conocimiento mutuo entre ambos lados, a la creación de estructuras coordinadas y a avanzar en soluciones a problemas comunes como el aislamiento geográfico, las fracturas demográficas y el atraso del tejido económico. Al mismo tiempo, la aplicación de estos programas ha generado nuevas miradas hacia la Raya con el impulso de actividades y servicios emergentes y la gestión creativa del patrimonio natural y cultural. En poco tiempo el camino recorrido en cooperación transfronteriza ha sido fructífero, pero necesita que en el futuro se consolide gracias a la conformación de entidades de colaboración y la puesta en marcha de proyectos de interés para este sector de la frontera ibérica con lazos y connotaciones históricas en el marco renovado por la Unión Europea</p><p>The socioeconomic development of most European border areas is confined by their peripheral situation regarding the centers of administration and political decision-making. In the areas of the autonomous region of Castile and Leon bordering with the Portuguese regions of Centro and Norte, the location on the edges of the state and region has had a negative impact on development. In order to mitigate the geographical disadvantages of border areas, the European Union has launched the INTERREG program as a complement to regional policies engaged by structural and cohesion funds. In the border zone of Castilla y León the communitarian initiative of INTERREG (1991-2006) and its follow-up the Cross-border Operational Programme (2007-2013) have contributed to a mutual consciousness on both sides of the border. Moreover they have helped to create coordinated structures and to search for solutions to common problems such as geographical isolation, demographical discontinuity and the backwardness of economic networks. Simultaneously, the application of these programs has generated new views on the Raya (the border strip). The incentives for such new views emanated from emerging activities and services and a creative management of natural and cultural heritage. During a relatively short period the cross-border cooperation has been fruitful. However, within the renewed frame of the European Union, there is a future need to consolidate the entities of cross-border cooperation and to set in motion projects for this part of the Iberian borderland, which shares historical bonds and connotations.</p>
