The Concept of Cross-Border Development on the Example of Euroregions in Poland

Abstract

The paper presents the issue of cross-border cooperation on the example of the functioning of euroregions in Poland. This issue was taken up in connection with the vital importance of international cooperation and euroregional cooperation for local and regional development. Euroregions, which cover almost the entire Polish border area, offer extensive opportunities connected with regional and local development, and foster the development of cooperation in matters of great importance for local and regional communities. Cooperation under the initiative of regional and local communities will decide in future not only about the shape of cross-border cooperation, but also about relations between states, in the united Europe of the 21st century.
