J04(b) - Roundtable Book Discussion: Security. Cooperation. Governance. The Canada-United States Open Border Paradox
Date: Jun 12 | Heure: 01:45pm to 03:15pm | Salle: 680 Sherbrooke St. West 294
Joint Session / Séance conjointe : Provincial & Territorial Politics & National Security Workshop
Chair/Président/Présidente : Elisabeth Vallee (Collège militaire royal St. Jean)
Panelists will discuss border security through the lens of a new book that is part of the Borders in Globalization Partnership. Public discussion tends to focus on borders as wrought with problems. This book takes the converse approach: The Canada-US border as a case study in mature cross-border cooperation. The paradox of open borders and their legitimacy is a function of robust bilateral and multilevel governance based on effective partnerships with substate governments and the private sector. Effective policy accounts for regional variation in integrated binational security and trade imperatives. At the same time, binational and continental policies are embedded in each country’s trade and security relationships beyond North America.
