Abstract

The article analyzes the state of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and EU Mem- ber States. The authors of the article deeply analyze the literature on cross-border cooperation as well as the typology of border regions in Europe. The article analyzes in depth the cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and the EU within the framework of the European Neighbor- hood Policy. The authors make a comparative analysis of two CBC programs for 2007-2013 and 2014-2020. They conclude that, unlike the program for 2007-2013, where the focus was on the economic development, in 2014-2020, the focus was on development of health care, cultural heritage, infrastructure projects and security.
