Governance most important barriers for cross-border cooperation Upper Rhine administrative cultures multi level mismatch lacking ressources political agenda number of actors Greater Region lacking common strategy multi level mismatch lacking political will political agenda number of actors Metroborder Delphi Study 2009/10, n GR = 156, n UR = 89

14 IV. Governance Which role for the EU? EU should provide governance structures importance of EU funding is overestimated nation states responsible for cross border harmonization Upper Rhine also in future crucial cross border EU is the key actor importance of EU role of EU finding governance should to harmonise crossborder regulations funding is be supported by EU overestimated Greater Region Results of the Delphi study in absolute numbers
