MOT publications and studies

[In French only] De la Manche aux Caraïbes en passant par la Méditerranée, la coopération dans les bassins maritimes a été au centre des débats du colloque sur la coopération régionale dans les zones maritimes (ReCMA), organisé en septembre 2023 par l’Université de Lille, le laboratoire TVES et la MOT. Pour rendre compte de ces travaux, la MOT a publié un "Focus" sur ce thème placé au coeur des enjeux d'intégration européenne.

Peter Lang, by Birte Wassenberg (Volume editor) Bernard Reitel (Volume editor) History & Political Science, Series: Border Studies, Volume 1. The "Critical Dictionary of Borders, Cross-Border Cooperation and European Integration" has just been published: a major publication that contains 209 articles written by 124 authors from different countries and academic disciplines, accompanied by 66 original maps produced by the MOT. Its aim is to answer the following questions: what is the role of borders in European integration? How does cross-border cooperation function concretely in the EU’s border regions? Does it contribute to European integration? Who are the players, and what are their motives, objectives and tools?

This methodological guidebook published by the MOT with the DATAR in the framework of the project is intended to better articulate cohesion policy, governance structures and cross-border territorial approaches. Its 156 pages include a cross-cutting diagnosis of cooperation on each French border and 25 pages of recommendations.
