Description
The attached abstract aims to explain the research plan in detail while also discussing some of the theoretical definitions tied to it through the topic. It presents the idea of comparing 3 diversified regions (Opole, Cieszyn, and Lviv) with noticeable self-organized (Polish and German) minority communities operating there. The research looks at the chosen groups' history and current surrounding environment, trying to identify similarities in how they present their belonging and use cross-border cooperation opportunities.
Its main goal is to establish, whether there are differences within the minority communities located within and just outside the borders of the EU. Especially curious would be the comparison between the German minority in Opole and the Polish minority in Lviv since communities have historically used (or still use) similar tools allowing for cross-border migration of their participants to the EU countries.
