The binational cities of Dover and Calais and their region 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Odile Heddebaut 《GeoJournal》2001,54(1):61-71
This paper analyses the question of cities that are localised at each part of an international border. We take as an example
the two cities of Dover and Calais and look at if they can be considered as binational cities, because they have been recently
connected by a tunnel, the ‘fixed link’, and because since 1993, the inner state borders of the European Union have disappeared.
It determines firstly if these two towns have been brought closer by the construction of the Channel tunnel and if specific
ties are linking these two towns. The article scrutinizes actions taken under INTERREG funds under the general framework of
the creation of the ‘Transmanche Region’ and its extension towards a Euroregion to sort out these two cities joint involvement.
Finally, it checks if this new area could lead to cross-border activity either for work or tourism and leisure purposes that
could conduct the cities of Dover and Calais toward a new type of relationship, premises of a binational city.

Cross-border cooperation is starting to overcome the isolation of frontier regions where interaction under the socialist system
was minimal. Change has been particularly apparent in areas where trans-frontier organisations on the ‘Euroregion’ model have
emerged. The Carpathian Euroregion is the first exclusively East European example of this approach and it has already made
a positive impact in overcoming backwardness in an area where four East European countries were in contact with the Former
Soviet Union. The paper outlines the challenge facing the Euroregion – and the national and local governments in the five
countries concerned – in providing non-agricultural employment for a large rural population augmented by return-migration
from the towns since 1989. Many small farming businesses have been started as a survival strategy but they cannot be economically
viable in a market situation. Although most people are satisified with their rural lifestyle, the inevitability of radical
consolidation in a future EU context could be politically destabilising if more jobs are not generated in manufacturing and
in an expanding tertiary sector.
