Chapter 5
By Brains: Conclusion and Discussion
5.1 Introduction
Chapter five gives the conclusion and a broad discussion on the
research. In the conclusion the main factors for East-East cooperation
are mentioned and the hypotheses are evaluated. To know the main
factors having a role in East-East cooperation is very important
for the people who want to promote East-East cooperation. At first
this is of course the interest of the RECs Earmarked Grants Team,
but other funding organizations like EPCE might use the information
as well. At second the environmental NGOs in Central Europe might
like to use this conclusion for comparing their approach of and
experience with East-East cooperation with mine. At third Western
NGOs and individual activists can profit, since they have an important
role in stimulating East-East cooperation, because of network
activities and/or personal contacts. The main factors for East-East
cooperation are given in 5.2. The next paragraph,
5.3, discusses the used theory and methods. Finally in
5.4 some outlines for future research on the highly interesting
topic of East-East cooperation are suggested.
