Abstract: „Widespread cross-border activities and relations have moved European integration step by step from what was once the European periphery towards the centre. This Working Paper spotlights the SaarLorLux region and describes cross-border cooperation at grass-roots level, as realized in specific activities in 2024. Relevant data is derived from quantitative surveys at the communal (urban and rural district) level in Saarland, the département Moselle, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, complemented by in-depth interviews with representatives of these bodies. The results show that decision makers at this level associate Europe closely with open borders, the common currency, and solidarity, and hence widely agree with the thesis that border regions are – despite all obstacles – laboratories of European integration. The sense of a joint borderland and of connection with Europe is correspondingly high, especially in districts directly on the border. The advantages of the border situation are real and present to those who live here, but the Covid pandemic has nevertheless left traces that have not yet been entirely erased. In this light, future cross-border cooperation calls for further positive input at the local level to fill the concept of Europe with life.“

Abstract: „The year 2020 challenged and put into question seeming certainties. The nation states responded to the spread of the coronavirus with varying restrictions of freedom(s), as well as temporary reintroduction of border controls or closures. 35 years after the signing of the Schengen Agreement, the issue of internal border controls within the EU resurfaced – with varying effects on border regions. Buildung upon a constructivistic perspective and based on a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles of the Saarbrücker Zeitung in spring 2020, the Working Paper traces central discussion processes with a spatial focus on the cross-border area of the Greater Region. Our findings show that reports on securing border crossings outweigh those about reopening borders, underlining the effect of border closings as a sudden rupture with major effects on the lives of border residents, especially cross-border commuters. The actors demand a significant expansion and intensification of cross-border communication and cooperation in response to these experiences.“

Abstract: „This paper analyses everyday practices carried out by the residents of the Saarland, Lorraine, Luxembourg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Wallonia in the neighbouring regions abroad. The key assumption is the consideration that the inhabitants of the Greater Region SaarLorLux define the transborder reality of life of this region through their cross-border performance of everyday practices. Such a socio-constructivist perspective is not interested in what the Greater Region SaarLorLux actually is, but in what ways it is constituted or how it manifests itself in the daily lives of its inhabitants. Therefor the most common cross-border everyday practices, such as shopping for everyday needs, leisure-time shopping, outdoor recreation/tourism, cultural events, as well as visiting friends and family are looked at in greater detail. These observations are based on selected findings from three recent empirical studies of the study region, which have been linked to each other as well as socio-culturally and socioeconomically mapped in order to carve out the spatial organization, the motives and other contextual factors of cross-border everyday practices in the Greater Region SaarLorLux. This approach allows reconstructing mobility flows and spatial emphases in the context of everyday practices and gives insights into the nature of cross-border living realities in the Greater Region SaarLorLux.“

Aus dem Inhaltstext: „La construction des territoires en Europe" est un ouvrage issu des séminaires organisés par la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Lorraine en collaboration avec l'Université de Luxembourg, en 2008 et 2009. L'essentiel des contributions concerne un espace transfrontalier de coopération territoriale appelé Grande Région qui regroupe des entités de quatre Étals: le Grand Duché de Luxembourg, la Wallonie et les Communauté française et germanophone en Belgique, la Lorraine en France et les 1änder de Sarre et de Rhénanie-Palatinat en Allemagne. L'événement "Luxembourg et Grande Région, capitale européenne de la culture 2007" en est une des manifestations emblématiques. Les travaux présentés permettent, non seulement de faire un état des lieux des recherches sur la Grande Région, mais aussi de s'interroger sur les raisons du développement de cet objet privilégié. Dans une perspective multidisciplinaire, ils interrogent les fondements historiques et stratégiques de la construction de l'objet Grande Région, questionnent la validité de cette échelle territoriale privilégiée de l'action publique, observent les incidences de la mobilisation de la Grande Région dans un événement culturel visant à renforcer son existence dans l'esprit des populations. Si l'approche constructiviste est dominante dans les études et permet ainsi de dénaturaliser l'objet. cette posture de recherche est cependant soumise à un examen critique. En quoi les chercheurs contribuent-ils à faire exister l'objet sur lequel ils travaillent? Comment, dans un contexte de politiques culturelles territorialisées, est-il possible de mener des études de réception indépendantes? Et quelle est, en définitive, la pertinence du concept de territoire souvent posé comme une évidence dans le langage des instances européennes? Ces approches croisées de l'entité transfrontalière Grande Région, de ses modes d'existence et de ses formes de mobilisation dans les pratiques des acteurs publics, contribuent ainsi à enrichir l'analyse des nouvelles constructions territoriales aujourd'hui à l'oeuvre, depuis l'échelle locale jusqu'à l'Europe.“
