This second section provides a cross-cutting thematic
analysis of cross-border economic development, which
draws general conclusions from the comparison of the
territories studied in this document. In particular, it
discusses public action in the French context at a time
when it is the subject of far-reaching reforms affecting
the areas of economic development and employment.
It starts by examining the issues of attractiveness
and competition relating to borders, before analysing
various facets of cross-border economic development.
It then looks at the job market, vocational training
and apprenticeships, as well as the financing of cross-
border economic development. The last part of this
section considers the issue of cross-border economic
governance and that of strategies.
