Borders and Governance: An Analysis of Health Regulation and the Agri-food Trade
The contemporary dynamics of states, borders, and markets suggest the need for non-traditional methods of regulation and international cooperation in areas such as border inspections and management. The emerging literature on cross-border regions and multi-level governance suggests a framework to understand this development within the general transformation of states under globalisation. To explore these ideas, in this article we focus on the are…
From “Thin” to “Thick” (and Back Again?): The Politics and Policies of the Contemporary US–Canada Border
Despite making modest progress on challenging management and security issues common to their shared border, the United States and Canada have, in recent years, slipped behind on advancing a progressive border agenda. The momentum unleashed under the 30-point Smart Border Action Plan, signed in late 2001, has slowed in the face of new regulations at the border, many of which were initiated by the United States. These include significant changes in…
Routinizing’ cooperation and changing narratives: The security and prosperity partnership of North America
March 2005 witnessed the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States signing the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), a new international framework for cross‐border cooperation in North America. The SPP features two important agendas relevant for the post‐September 11th era: one revolving around national security and the other around economic prosperity. In this paper, we explore how the SPP impacts the dominant…
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
I. Introduction On March 23, 2005, U.S. President George Bush, former Mexican President Vicente Fox, and former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin jointly announced the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). (1) The SPP is a framework for trilateral and bilateral cooperation in North America. While not a formal international treaty, nor an overarching binding legal agreement, it does contain two importan…
Mapping Ethnic Violence
Ethnic conflict is a lethal and increasingly problematic international challenge. According to Monica Duffy Toft in The Geography of Ethnic Violence, two-thirds or more of all contemporary armed conflicts involve an ethnic dimension (p. 3). Indeed, since World War II, intrastate conflicts have become more common than interstate conflicts, and ethnicity and nationalism are often important components of these struggles. Many scholars agree that the…
Landscape of Immigration in Europe
With the failure of its constitution, the European Union (EU) sits at a cross-roads, conflicted about which direction integration should and will take in the coming decades. At the same time, the threat of transnational terrorism, changing labor markets, and major demographic shifts—amplified by the admission of 10 new member states in 2004—mean that migration has become one of the most salient issues in European politics today. It is likely to r…
Border security in risk society
This article examines contemporary migration and border controls in the U.S.‐Mexico borderlands through the prism of ‘risk society,’ a theoretical approach that reconceptualizes security and social change. Specifically, it analyzes the interplay between undocumented migration flows, policy reform, and the new ‘Smart Border’ regulatory regime initiated by the United States to police its frontiers. The events of September 11, 2001, and the subseque…
Constructing security on the U.S.–Mexico border
Border Security Technologies: Local and Regional Implications
The Bush administration's "Smart Border" accords with Mexico and Canada present a number of important implications for North America's border communities and regions. As part of the plans, new security technologies have emerged as the preferred policy solution to the difficult problem of screening for weapons and terrorist incursions into the United States through its international boundaries while maintaining flows of goods and individuals, key …
Unpacking Borders
In recent years, the study of boundaries—metaphors and delineations of division, difference, and, therefore, identity—has been usefully opened up to include more than the examination of international legal demarcations and territorial conflict. Indeed, the concept of a “border” is incredibly rich. Scholars like Yosef Lapid and Mathias Albert (2001), Eviatar Zerubavel (1991), Deborah Pellow (1996), Frederik Barth (1969), Gloria Anzaldúa (1987), an…
Directions in border security research
This research note offers an appraisal of the contemporary state of U.S.-Mexico border security studies. An overview of recent literature on this subject is connected through two landmark political developments impacting the U.S.-Mexico frontier: the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001. These two political events have had a major effect both on the …
Transnational Crime and Public Security: Challenges to Mexico and the United States
Issues of public security - crime, violence, corruption, and defective law enforcement - all play important roles in the Mexico-U.S. bilateral relationship. The roots of these problems run deep into institutions and practices that have survived the old order. The contributors to this volume shed new light on the determinants of transnational crime and its consequences for domestic politics in Mexico as well as for U.S.-Mexico relations
