Abstract

Abstract Formalized in the 1970s through the Middlesbrough–Oberhausen Town Twinning partnership (Partnerschaft Oberhausen–Middlesbrough), the connection between the two post-industrial towns dates back further to informal connections in the early 1950s and an age of reconciliation between the two nations. This article explores the origins, mechanisms, benefits and challenges of town twinning by drawing upon a rich body of empirical evidence from local authority records, press coverage, interviews and community reminiscence. The study provides the first academic analysis of the changes, challenges, continuities and continued relevance of town twinning in one of Britain’s leading pro-Brexit areas.

“为未来的理解、尊重和友谊打下坚实的基础”:1945-2020年战后城镇结对的理想与现实
在20世纪70年代,通过米德尔斯堡-奥伯豪森城镇结对伙伴关系(Partnerschaft Oberhausen-Middlesbrough),这两个后工业城镇之间的联系可以追溯到20世纪50年代初的非正式联系和两国之间的和解时代。本文通过从地方政府记录、新闻报道、采访和社区回忆中汲取丰富的经验证据,探讨了城镇结对的起源、机制、好处和挑战。该研究首次对英国支持脱欧的主要地区之一的城镇结对的变化、挑战、连续性和持续相关性进行了学术分析。
