Abstract

The Euregio Rhine-Ems-Ijssel in the German-Dutch borderland was one of the first cross-border co-operations which had been established at the internal borders of the European Community since the end of the 1950s. The dismantling of the border as a dividing line between states, economies and societies was a major driving force for the local actors. Joint spatial planning should remove the economic disadvantages resulting from the peripheral location at the border of the nation state. At the same time, a cross-border “euregional” identity ought create and promote the integration of Europe in miniature. The Euregios are understood to represent a new form of perception and creation of space, which is induced by the border as well as intended to overcome the border situation. The article seeks to contribute to the broadening of European integration history in terms of space as a category of research.
