Borders and border regions are shaped by many phenomena connected with both co-operation and conflict. The neighbourhood, cross-border contacts, illegal migration, border crossings, prejudices and stereotypes, border guards, and perceptions of borders are some of the key words that characterize the articles in this volume. The book deals with European border regions that have experienced numerous changes over the 20th century. Because of this changeable, frequently painful past, different human stories – mostly tragic or romanticized – individual and collective memories, mythologies with heroes, and divergent perceptions of history developed. Most authors in this volume deal with conflicts and co-operation that can either be remembered or forgotten.

Finally, administrative perspectives on the study of cross-border cooperation as a horizontal level of the European Administrative Area are also presented.
The impact of administrative culture on politico-administrative processes is subject of investigation in administrative sciences. Traditionally, the investigation focuses on the national level. National characteristics and differences are in the center of scientific interest. Surprisingly, the European dimension of administrative culture has been neglected so far. But with the continuous economic and political integration, the question of a specific European administrative culture arises almost naturally. This book presents the results of a conference that had been organized in Strasbourg by the German Section of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences, the Council of Europe, the University for Applied Administrative Sciences in Kehl, the Euro-Institute, and the Ple Europen dAdministration Publique de Strasbourg (PAP). It examines the following topics: Which characteristics mold the European administrative culture? Which patterns of administrative culture can be obs
