Democracy

Miniature
Summary

This article aims at evaluating the democratic status and prospects of the strategic, institutional and cooperative level within CBRs, based on a case study of the Øresund Region, situated on the border between Denmark and Sweden, and complemented with secondary evidences from other CBRs. The following questions are asked:

  • Do the strategies promoted have a democratic scope?
  • Are institutions reasonably accountable, in a traditional sense, to citizen within the region?
  • Is the concrete cooperation inclusive of broad categories of citizens?
