Border Security White Papers
A Tale of Two Borders: The U.S. - Mexico and U.S. - Canada Lines After 9/11
Overview This paper traces the changing practice and politics of North American border controls and analyzes the implications of these changes for cross-border relations and continental integration. The paper suggests that North American relations are driven by the politics of border control. It examines U.S. border control initiatives before 9-11, and argues that these were politically successful policy failures: they succeeded in terms of their symbolic and image effects even while largely failing in terms of their deterrent effects.
