englischBorder regions were regarded as the constellation of European integration in a nutshell. Problems and opportunities which can be found on the European level are often mirrored in local constellations in border regions. This regards the need and the opportunities of administrative and political cooperation as well as personal contact across borders. However, as the local constellation is less complex with only two or in rare incidences three countries involved, cooperation should be easier.

 

The aim of this volume is to take a close look at this very special Polish–German border, particularly from the Polish side. To describe and understand the multiple patterns and shapes of cross-border links – and especially the lack of such links – we brought together contributions which take very different perspectives. We intend to present the scene of Polish border researchers to a wider community, to enhance exchange and provide information on this specific and particularly interesting border region to the international audience.
