CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION PROJECTS USING THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT’S GRANT FOR REGIONAL REVITALIZATION

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of cross-border cooperation projects in regional cooperation projects that were adopted under the national government’s grant. In addition, we interviewed individuals from the relevant municipalities to clarify the nature of their cooperation in the project. Our research determined 118 cross-border cooperation projects among 592 regional cooperation projects that were initiated under the grant. These projects can be categorized into two types. The first involves cooperation between neighboring municipalities, and the second involves cooperation between remote municipalities.
