today I come to talk about
something that I love
the borders most of those who
we are here we are border
perhaps the exception of some of the
speakers who come from outside and some
people who are listening to us here
but most of us live grew up or
We were born on a border
and that gives us a perspective of what
what is to live and work and enjoy
the borders a totally perspective
other than people who live outside of
they
but thank you very much for that perspective
It does not allow us to see beyond the two
cities in which we spend our
weather
and blind us to see how we could improve
those two cities thinking of them as
just one
taking away any division
or political or cultural physics that
we could have
well today I have come to
tell them how we can have a better
cross-border development
I’d like to start with a sentence that
I want you to have in mind throughout
this talk that analyze it and that the
have there present when to me the
they said
pretty shocked me made me think
the borders in a different way
they told me
the borders are marked by
damages that are formed from nightmares
historical
historical nightmares
historical nightmares like the war
Mexico lost more than half of its
territory in a war with the us the
border where we are standing here
now it is marked by that nightmare
historical there is nation
if we go a little bit further back
we also have historical nightmares
as the conquest
our destinations as Mexicans and
Americans were marked from
that the Spanish and the British
they came to conquer what today
we know as North America
we see also the theme of europe is
full of historical nightmares
over the last thousand years the
borders in europe have changed
considerably
having going on from what they are
i
to what we know right now
currently as the states of the union
European
we also have historical nightmares
that occur from the redistribution of
land
the borders of the Middle East that
we see here
were drawn arbitrarily by a
sent from the British Empire and a
sent from the French empire that without
ask anyone and take the opinion
from nobody who lived there
on a table seated as well as they are
you here
they drew the borders to describe
they still have an impact to this day
the wars that are lived in the middle
East
many are causing by those borders
the borders have been very fashionable
lately also in the media
we have people who want we have people
who wants to build walls this to
separate the two nations to separate
to the people who live on the borders
we also have the case
we also have the case of borders
which are the most dangerous in the world
as is the case of the Korean border
North and South Korea where
there where they are seeing in that building
that is there are having the talks
to be able to agree on peace between the two
borders and that peace not only hurts
that Korean border will have going to
have consequences around the world
we are talking about a nuclear war and
we also have the theme of people who
take what is not theirs the case of
russia that annexed crimea being crimea
part of an independent country like the
ukraine there flatly erased the
border and they took
apart for them
but good
we would like to see what borders are
we can take into account two perspectives
we can see the academic side and we can
see the citizens side
what do people like the most to me?
who lives at the borders if we see the
academic theme
that the borders were a simple
divisions or physical barriers call yourself a
river a mountain a desert that separated
two countries or that separated two regions and
have evolved to people who see
borders as opportunities as
resources that you can have to have
better development
if we go to the subject of how they see the
citizens the borders
If we citizens
they see them more from the perspective of what
happens day to day
we see definitions that tell you 9 that
It serves that mexico consider it as a
country that is an emerging economy but
if it does not solve your problems of
insecurity or we have the case also of
who tell us today what is the use of
everyone is working for your side
very good if we do not put on not us
we can agree
we get the case also from who sees
borders as problems that live
daily tell us the borders are a
languages language problem
but good, not everything is bad in the
borders let’s see why they matter
the borders
on the border of Mexico and the USA
daily cross we have interactions
of more than 1000 million
dollars per day on trade issues
Exterior
one billion dollars in a week
between the border in mexico of usa it
moves money comparable to the product
gross domestic product of a country like Monaco
in europe more than 37% of the population
lives in border areas
the borders are detonating
demographic one in three Europeans
lives in a border area
and in texas the border cities
they grow more than double in terms of their
population
unlike the national average of
us that is to say the borders attract people
attracts talent attract growth attract
development
but despite this importance
borders are often chaotic often
being messy are usually
problematic and many of that chaos and
those problems can be defined by some
barriers to cooperation
cross-border that I identified
we have political barriers
social barriers of competition between
one side and another we have barriers of
mobility of how we transport ourselves from
one side of the border to the other we have
economic barriers and language barriers
I give you an example of barriers
cultural activities on the border of France and
Spain- I was told here the subject that
we have the problem is that we have a
completely different business culture
on the French side the entrepreneurs
French are very rational beings go
on the straight line and do not move from there
and mention to Spanish then for
put it in an easier way
entrepreneurs are Latino beings that
they work with their heart with their intuition
they are more messy then when
we try to make these teachers work
business as it is difficult there
discrepancies
we also have the issue of barriers
of the language in that same border of
France and Spain there where is the
Basque country on the Spanish side and Aquitaine
on the French side
there are three languages spoken on the side
French, French is spoken
Castilian Spanish is spoken aside and
Basque which is the Basque language one of
the oldest languages in the world there are
when they want to do any
cooperation have to get releases
in all three languages so they can be
understand and so that people can
then that is a barrier to
cooperation is a language barrier
we also have the issue of barriers
policies
on the border of sweden and denmark that
it’s called oresund which by the way is a
of the most dynamic borders in the world
with more development and more successful then
there also have problems there the subject
of the political barrier is that there in that
border there are three governments
regional that if we download it here the
theme of mexico we are talking as if
there were three state governments there
there are two governments on the side of
Denmark and a government on the side of
Sweden and it’s not that they do not want to cooperate
as I say it is one of the borders
most successful in the world but they have
what to look for the topics they have in common
apart from the agendas that they have
and of the commitments they have with their
voters issues that they have in common for
to be able to cooperate
and we also have the issue of barriers
social like the one in recent years
has occurred on the border between Mexico and
the united states the issue of the
Insecurity in Mexico has distanced
authorities and entrepreneurs
Americans of the Mexicans
making cooperation a little
more difficult
but good that I propose that I propose
to order this chaos to be able to have
better cross-border development
the key is in all of us the key
is in the people the key is in what
Social
we can not have an economic development
with a cross-border development or
competitiveness and innovation if not
we start from people if we do not start
of the social issue and for this I got a
index to an east diagram and a topic that
it’s called social base and the social base
It is composed of two pretty subjects
human mind on the one hand we have the
social capital that basically is how
we relate among people what
participation we have between groups
social issues among our companies
and on the other side we have innovation
social social innovation in how
we improve on how we innovate between
our relationships
we have a social base if the capital
social generates social innovations and
we have a social base also if that and
those social innovations strengthen the
social and existing capital
I would like you to keep three things
of the social capital that is needed to
cross-border development
we need confidence we need
trust our neighbors we need
trust the people with whom
we work
we need social networks and I’m not
necessarily speaking of facebook
twitter or linkedin that is important
but I’m talking about networks
interpersonal with whom we
we relate to which groups we participate
business associations and so on those are
our social networks and we need a
also a shared vision not
we can speak each one by his side
we must identify common themes and
work on them
I give you an example of confidence that
they talked at the border between france
and Spain there is an organization for
cross- border cooperation that is
Spanish side told me to us
we are very interested in working with our
French neighbors and then we saw the
need to generate this trust
that we could have between them and that
trust because it is given with the
people who live on both sides of the
border with people who share
relatives from both sides of the border
where everyone knows each other and where
everyone can work in a more
more comfortable
I also have the subject of networks
social relations on the border between Sweden and
Denmark also said good
us the best way we could
discover to work in this
cross-border development since it was the
Swedish side we hire a
manager who was danish that all his life
had lived and studied and worked
side of denmark and that we
facilitated the exchange between
the two borders because because we were going
towards Sweden and well then, already
we had a common face we already knew
that we were working and those
social networks helped us in the
cross- border cooperation
and we also have the theme of vision
shared on that same border of
sweden and denmark called prayer
and what I tell you is one of the most
successful because there they also had
problems with the subject of the latest
decades from those of the global crises and
the issue of globalization and they were
about to lose many jobs by
high-paying jobs in sectors
as the biochemist the pharmacist the
agroindustry
and there they what the decision that
they took is to remove both the two
countries and join in a single merge and
go out to sell as one face
they could join their efforts generated
a much larger critical mass than
they were independently and they went out to
sell the region no longer as Suarez and
denmark but they came out to sell as
now they are that is to have a vision
shared
on the subject of social innovation I would like
give them some examples so that
see what I’m talking about when
social innovation in the subject
cross-border there is an example in the
border of france and spain that
called euskampus and that is an initiative
that was born from the union of the university
of the Basque country and the Spanish side and in
the University of Bordeaux from the side
French and this union what they did is
that generated a binational campus a
campus where your students can take
chair on either side the border
can share academic records
can share mentors can
share teachers
that’s a social innovation in the subject
educational and cross-border issues
we also have the theme of the camera
trade and industry of oresund e
the border between their scene marks them
they went a little beyond them
they evolved they sepel not removed
the cameras that existed on each side
they made one and that camera of
gold trade zoom represents the
interests on both sides of the border
it’s like we take off here
locally to the Kanak on the one hand and
side chamber of thames on the other and
we had a room are chamber
cross-border trade to that has
evolved cooperation
cross-border in the Nordic countries
I want to leave you last with three
keys for cooperation
cross border
three keys or rather they are steps that
we have to continue to be able to reach
better cross-border cooperation ‘
if they leave them independently they’re going to
say that these equal and contradict
but they are stages by which we have to
happen we need first of all to have
a little bit of informality
of informality like the one given here
in this region of the new laredo area
where if someone wants to cooperate is
as easy as crossing the border and
sits with his counterpart sit
and on a napkin they start to write
the idea and that idea is done in an event
or is done in an initiative is done in
something that is greater that informality is
need to push in the beginning
the cooperation from there we must pass
to the second one that is the
institutionalization of the actions of
cross- border cooperation
here I give you the example of the union
European ‘ and something that exists that I call
the European umbrella that European umbrella
what it is is that it is the existence of
funds for cooperation
cross-border institutions
are dedicated one hundred percent to
promote cross-border cooperation
It is much easier to cooperate when
there are that kind of institutions and
there is that kind of money
and the third to what everyone like
border we would like to aspire to
evolve
and evolve to be able to arrive and be
mature mentally mature mind to
we can remove what has not worked
and to be able to unite and see ourselves as one
that the actions are not directed
each side the border but the
sections are in a single in a single
path
I invite you to take off our those
historical nightmares
not to forget where we came from
but what better are we working on
build bridge bridges that give us
opportunities and that those opportunities
make cross-border development a
reality thank you very much
[Applause]
