The Operation and Development of CBC–Institutions along the Hungarian-Romanian Border in the Light of the Research Results of Institute for Euroregion

Summary/Abstract: Focusing mainly on the Hungarian-Romanian border as an example, this paper attempts to prove how the nature of borders have changed from hard, close and exclusive to soft, open, inclusive frontier. The article introduces the Hungarian and Romanian authors’ scientific contributions, with a special emphasis on the members of the Institute for Euroregional Studies (Debrecen-Oradea) “Jean Monnet” European Centre of Excellence (IERS), and the jointly developed projects. These contributions have created a certain level of expertise and experience in the development of cross-border cooperation and borders evolutions that could be transferred as good practice for the benefit of other situations with similar conditions such as the EU’s eastern frontier along the Slovak-Hungarian-Ukrainian-Romanian-Moldavian borders or in the West-Balkan region.
