Between Debordering and Rebordering Europe: Cross-Border Cooperation in the Øresund Region or the Danish-Swedish Border RegionCross-Border Cooperation Agreement • May 11th, 2011
The Øresund region is a border region divided by the Danish and Swedish sea border. It is one of the many European border regions that have been created by the fine-meshed web of European borders. European history is the history of bordering, debordering and rebordering. Bordering processes have shown negative consequences throughout history. Therefore, there has been just as long a history of initiatives taken to remove the consequences of the borders.1
