La coopération frontalière entre le Portugal et l'Espagne. Dynamique et singularités

Abstract

Despite the accession of Portugal and Spain to the EEC in 1986 not all expectations have been consolidated in the Portuguese - Spanish border area. What factors explain it? Cooperation was recorded in recent decades and it can be said that cross-border cooperation has been understood in two Iberian countries as a regional development tool. But there are obstacles that make it difficult. Which are? The evolution of the Portuguese - Spanish border cooperation programs improved, without doubt, relations between Portugal and Spain. To what extent interregional cooperation stimulated the Portuguese-Spanish cooperation after 30 years of EU membership?
