year = {2008},
note = {In their book the authors and co-founders of the Association of
European Border Regions (AEBR), Jens Gabbe and Dr. Viktor Freiherr von
Malchus, examine 40 years of cross-border cooperation, its added value
and its most important results and achievements.The book describes the
accomplishments of AEBR at a European level, the developments in
different parts of Europe, general experience and key elements of
successful cross-border cooperation, as well as the contribution of
cross-border cooperation to a European integration based on regional
diversity. The “European house” needs to be built from the bottom,
while resting on solid foundations. And these foundations are made
from the day-to-day cooperation of people, municipalities and regions
across borders.The perspectives of cross-border cooperation are of
vital importance for Europe. The Treaty of Lisbon and the EU Cohesion
Policy 2007-2013 set the framework for the future. One thing is
certain: for many years to come, cross-border cooperation will remain
a political priority of the EU and a European task!},
