“I found Security. Cooperation. Governance. The Canada-United States Open Border Paradox to be exceptional in presenting a compelling view of the dynamic cross-border regional cooperation and collaboration that impacts border security, policy, and culture across the US–Canada border.”
— Matt Morrison, Executive Director and CEO of the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region
“This book makes the case that a border is not a uniform dividing line between sovereign states but a series of interlinked channels between distinct communities. It is a unique piece of scholarship that demonstrates how border policies related to security, immigration, and trade are tied to regional preferences, mediated by federal and binational policymakers.”
— Laura Dawson, Executive Director of the Future Borders Coalition
“This book presents a richly detailed picture of the border between the United States and Canada. It makes clear that we can have trade and security at the same time. Policymakers will want to refer to this book for evidence that if we approach the border in a smart way, if we dedicate adequate resources, and if we use technology creatively, the United States and Canada can stay safe, secure, and economically competitive.”
— David Jacobson, Former United States Ambassador to Canada
