Bridging governance and border studies by adopting a lens of \"borderlands of governance\", it studies the contributions of intermunicipal cross-border governance to processes of bordering and \"place-making\" and to systems of multilevel cross-border governance. (In)formal intermunicipal cross-border networks - whose relevance and ingenuity became particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic - play a crucial role for the functioning of the borderspaces, in some instances evolving into \"quasi-territorial\" governance reflecting communities beyond national borders yet remaining bound to logics of territoriality and sovereignty. Here, the conceptualisation of \"borderlands of governance\" offers a framework for understanding them as contingent elements of multilevel cross-border governance. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46439793328279,"sku":"9783658478094","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783658478094.webp?v=1769112651","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/borderlands-of-governance-municipal-perspectives-on-cooperation-in-the-saarland-moselle-region-9783658478094","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
