Oderpartnership—A Long Way to Go Towards Cross-Border Spatial Governance

Thomas Weith

Planning Practice & Research, 2012, vol. 27, issue 3, 333-350

Abstract: This article analyses cross-border development, institutional setting and modes of spatial governance in the Oderpartnership, a new and progressing initiative between Germany and Poland. The analysis, using the ‘governance approach’, shows new structures and decision procedures as well as on-going deficits in stakeholder involvement, and misfits in both territorial governance and between territorial and functional governance. The comparison of the results with activities in the European region CENTROPE (Central European Region) gives rise to suggestions for future developments of institutional structures and governance. The article is based on an empirical study by Chinalski ( 2010 ), supplemented by the analysis of political statements and planning documents, and the discussions of a working group of the German Academy of Spatial Research and Regional Planning (ARL).
