| Summary: | <span lang="EN-US">The present paper presents an application to the case of the European cross-border cooperation policy (CBC). Specifically, the CBC carried out at the Spanish-Portuguese border is reviewed from a functional perspective. To do this, a descriptive overview of the implementation process of Portuguese-Spanish CBC is made, showing the agents and institutions that have carried it out, in particular the working communities, and the results achieved throughout the process. Understanding by results: <em>1)</em> what progress or recoils have been made in the deactivation of this secular border —that is, the border effect has been eliminated—, <em>2)</em> what obstacles remain outstanding and <em>3)</em> what are the future challenges. </span> |
