| Description | As the result of the European integration, the Rhine became the axis of both extraordinarily intensified economy and forming of large transborder regions with far reaching social and cultural changes. The examples of the Upper Rhine and SaarLorLux regions are used to present institutional tools, consequences of actual cooperation, and forming the sense of mutual unity and common cultural values. Similar questions of social and cultural changes in region around Těšín-Cieszyn (i.e. by the border divided old centre of historical county Teschen) or Nord Bohemia-Lusatia and other regions should be scrutinized. The Silesian institute is clearly prepared to study these dimensions. Almost 50 years of changes in transborder regions in the Rhineland can teach us how the supposed medium and large transborder regions in Central Europe will evolve. |
