Border Area from Borderland Proximity Communities to CBC Communities. Case Studies: Bihor – Hajdú-Bihar Borderland Area
Border Area from Borderland Proximity Communities to CBC Communities. Case Studies: Bihor – Hajdú-Bihar Borderland Area

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this scientific work consists in understanting the way how communities from marginalised areas in two or more neighbouring states evolve from peripheral communities to borderland proximity communities in order to reach the level of CBC Communities. We started from the particular case of Bihor (RO) / Hajdú-Bihar (H) Border Area. In the first part of this paper we will take a brief look on the evolutions and perceptions over the border communities, regarding the hope and the actions of crossing it. In the second part, we will try to follow the way how these communities have transformed endogenously and exogenously (with a significant note in favour of this type) in the CBC proximity communities (throughout the transition and the EU accession process). Finally we will seek to see how these CBC proximity communities evolve towards CBC communities, through an ample integration process – especially endogenous – tending to Eurometropole, Eurocities, etc. Obstacles hindering the evolution of this process.
