ALBERDI COLLANTES, Juan Cruz. Successes and failures of cross-border collaboration: The example of the Bidasoa. Estud. front [online]. 2019, vol.20, e041.  Epub 20-Dez-2019. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.1920041.

The Lower Bidasoa region, which encompasses the municipalities of Irun and Hondarrabia in Spain and Hendaye in France, has been cultivating municipality collaboration for decades, especially after the foundation of the international partnership of Bidasoa-Txingudi in 1998. The objective of the investigation is to show the activity of this entity as an example of the development of policies between interstate border boundaries in the European Union, and of the spatial socialization schemes that operate around them. We opted for the in-depth interview to contrast the results obtained through published sources. The results suggest an unquestionable willingness to materialize this relationship. However, this collaboration is limited by the difficulty of initiating common projects governed by legislation from two different States.
