What is it about?

This article addresses the role of geographic vicinity among ethnic minorities residing in a border area and the way cultural proximity is involved in this process.

Why is it important?
The findings highlight that geographic proximity constitutes a key factor in the manifestation of cultural proximity in the relationship between ethnic minorities and their counterparts in the cross-border region. This process is also shaped by the bilateral relations between the host country and the country of origin of the ethnic group.
Perspectives
Concluding the analysis, a cross-over ethnic model is proposed.
