German term or phrase: Klammer
From a brochure for a regional development agency.

"Im vielfältigen Beziehungsgeflecht der grenzüberschreitenden Zusammenarbeit schafft die IBK eine gemeinsame Klammer"

I'm stuck with Klammer. My attempt would be something along the lines of: "IBK embraces the complex relationships arising from cross-border cooperation". Any better ideas?
