城市间的合作是整个欧洲普遍存在的现象。但是，尽管城市间的合作有着广泛的分布，却没有得到系统的比较研究。本文介绍了一些关于一系列欧洲国家城市间合作的联合研究项目的结果。一项比较分析显示，城市间合作的形式和规模各不相同。然而，有可能区分出四种基本的合作类型：准地区政府、规划论坛、服务提供组织和服务提供协议。研究表明，国家制度背景在很大程度上解释了一个国家不同类型的存在与否。
Inter-municipal co-operation is a widespread phenomenon throughout Europe. But in spite of its wide spread, inter-municipal co-operation has not been subject to systematic comparative research. This article presents some of the findings of a joint research project concerning inter-municipal co-operation in a series of European countries. A comparative analysis shows that inter-municipal co-operation comes in all shapes and sizes. Nevertheless it is possible to distinguish four basic types of co-operation: quasi-regional governments, planning forums, service delivery organizations and service delivery agreements. Research shows that the national institutional context to a large extent explains the presence or absence of the different types in a country.
