However, the establishment of the European Single Market, in the last three decades, has deepened the cross-border cooperation inside the EU territory. In this respect, the INTERREG-A initiative has played a major role, since 1990. This article intends to shed some light on the progress of the cross border cooperation in the Swedish-Norwegian border region, and the territorial effects of the INTERREG-A programme in the reduction of the barrier effect along the border in five dimensions (institutional-urban, accessibility, culture-social, environmental-heritage and economy-technology).https://revistas.rcaap.pt/finisterra/article/view/4198
