Abstract(s)
Este trabalho procede a uma reflexão crítica sobre as condições políticas e socioculturais da constituição e consolidação da Eurorregião Galiza-Norte de Portugal como um território de partilha que a história afirma como pertença de dois países e que a geografia determina como uma continuidade.
Durante séculos, a vida desta comunidade foi construída de modo informal, por oposição às estruturas formais que a definiam como território de dois países diferentes. As relações entre a Galiza e o Norte de Portugal, com maior ou menor intensidade, sempre existiram, à margem de uma definição política consentânea. Com a União Europeia, com a necessidade da Europa das Regiões e com a oportunidade da Política de Coesão, conjugadas com a adesão de Portugal e Espanha às Comunidades Europeias, em 1986, este espaço adquiriu uma nova dinâmica, uma nova dimensão, outra escala.
Agora é a Europa, a das regiões, a da coesão, a das pessoas.
É a Europa que se concretiza, uma Europa unida, um caminho conjunto que se faz pela cooperação, pela necessidade e pela oportunidade.
Conclui-se neste trabalho que, ao longo das últimas décadas, a Eurorregião, beneficiando da Política de Coesão da UE, tem conseguido registar progressos consideráveis e convergido para a média europeia, através do apoio de quadros europeus que promovem o desenvolvimento e a implementação da transição para uma coesão territorial, económica, social, política e cultural.
A metodologia usada nesta dissertação é baseada na análise documental, tanto de textos oficiais como de instrumentos de política e de discursos dos principais agentes políticos e sociais que revelam a opção por uma Europa com menos assimetrias e vocacionada para as pessoas.
This work carries out a critical reflection on the political and sociocultural conditions of the constitution and consolidation of the Euroregion Galicia-North of Portugal as a shared territory that history affirms as belonging to two countries and that geography determines as a continuity. For centuries, the life of this community was built informally, as opposed to the formal structures that defined it as the territory of two different countries. Relations between Galicia and the North of Portugal, with greater or lesser intensity, have always existed, apart from a consistent political definition. With the European Union, with the need for a Europe of Regions and with the opportunity of Cohesion Policy, combined with the accession of Portugal and Spain to the European Communities in 1986, this space acquired a new dynamic, a new dimension, another scale. Now it is Europe, that of regions, that of cohesion, that of people. It is Europe that is coming to fruition, a united Europe, a joint path that is made through cooperation, necessity and opportunity. This work concludes that, over the last few decades, the Euroregion, benefiting from the EU Cohesion Policy, has managed to register considerable progress and converged towards the European average, through the support of European frameworks that promote the development and implementation of transition to territorial, economic, social, political and cultural cohesion. The methodology used in this dissertation is based on documentary analysis, both of official texts and policy instruments and speeches by the main political and social agents that reveal the option for a Europe with fewer asymmetries and focused on people.
