Border permeability and cross-border mobility in Europe, 1960–2020
本文以十年为间隔评估1960至2020年欧洲边境渗透性,提出10类边境制度分类,分析边境开放度与相邻地区跨境流动潜力的关系,揭示功能性跨境区域的形成。
This paper presents a long-term comparative assessment of border permeability across Europe at 10-year intervals between 1960 and 2020. Using a novel 10-point typology of border regimes, it traces spatio-temporal changes in border openness and their relation to the structural potential of cross-border mobility in adjacent regions, operationalised through demographic mass, economic attractiveness and other structural determinants. The results reveal evolving patterns of cross-border mobility potential, where permeability conditions enable the emergence of functional cross-border regions over time.
