Cross-Border Co-operation in the Expansion of European Integration
Cross-Border Co-operation in the Expansion of European Integration

Summary/Abstract: The paper interprets the definition of cross-border co-operation, presents the European practice of sub-regional co-operation, and gives a historical and economic summary of the former regional economic relations of Hungary. The author analyses the macro-, intermediate, and micro-level frameworks of the foreign trade co-operations in the Carpathian Region. The final conclusion is that it is possible to reconstruct the relations between the complementary economies, which were first established in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the second half of the 19th century, after eight decades at the level of local governments, institutions and enterprises, within the framework of the internal market in the European Union. To summarise all this: the conditions of macro- and regional level co-operation of the people living in the Carpathian Euroregion are developing in a favourable way.
