September 11, 2001 marked the beginning of a new era of security
imperatives for many countries. The border between Canada and the
United States suddenly emerged from relative obscurity to become a
focus of constant attention by media, federal and state/provincial
governments on both sides of the boundary, and the public at large.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Canada-USA
border in its 21st century form, placing it within the context of
border and borderlands theory, globalization and the changing
geopolitical dialogue. It argues that this border has been
reinvented as a 'state of the art', technology-steeped crossing
system, while the image of the border has been engineered to appear
consistent with the 'friendly' border of the past. It shows how a
border can evolve to a heightened level of security and yet
continue to function well, sustaining the massive flow of trade. It
argues whether, in doing so, the US-Canada border offers a model
for future borderlands. Although this model is still evolving and
still aspires toward better management practices, the template may
prove useful, not only for North America, but also in conflict
border zones as well as the meshed border regions of the EU,
Africa's artificial line boundaries and other global situations.
