| Résumé anglais |
The region of Alsace, which in the past was strongly marked by the divisive nature of its border, is now characterised by its unifying effect. Numerous initiatives, supported politically and financially by a varied range of organisations such as local and central governments, Universities and the European Commission, have been undertaken to lessen the effects of the border. Most of these initiatives have occured within the framework of the Upper Rhine, which represents both a geographical entity and a political idea, and which has become the focus for a ??? policy of cross- border regional development. However, despite such intentions, what are the real results of these different policies and initiatives ? In reality, the weight of history, in other words the « old border », has made it difficult to establish the idea of a « new border », unifying rather than dividing the banks of the Rhine.
