It contains articles about the trade unions and North-South cooperation; a new tourism brand for the island of Ireland; the role of teacher educators in North-South cooperation; modelling all-island hospital accessibility; local cross-border cooperation in the border counties; and lessons from an institute for cross-border cooperation on the German-French border.
