Worldwide, cross-border urban cooperation has in several cases produced socio-economic and political coherence supported by various joint programs and efforts. However, the degree of coherence varies and seldom cre-ates socio-economically and politically tightly integrated "Twin-Cities" where the state border becomes highly transparent or ob-scure. Focusing on Finlan d and China, our aim is to identify whether the selected border towns represent coherent TwinCities or a more loose type of "paired border towns". The study uses an empirical examination of three Finnish towns (Helsinki, Tornio, Imatra) and their neighboring towns in Estonia, Sweden, and Rus-sia as a benchmark. Then, a comparative study is made regarding three Chinese cross-border cities facing Russia, Vietnam and Ka-zakhstan. We highlight the differences in cross-border integration from the viewpoint of shared public sector programs, cross-border enterprise relocation and networking, and integrated social sector in terms of labor market, education and shopping area.展开更多

Similarly,Chinese writer Shen Congwen's novella The Border Town(1934) also conveys the author's tender feelings toward rural life in his homeland in west Hunan Province. This paper compares the Australian white man's new ideas of nature, which was demonstrated through the acceptance of Aborigines' perception of nature, and through questioning white man's idea of civilization and progress,with the traditional Chinese concept of"return to Mother Nature".展开更多
