(Abstract: The hardening of the U.S.–Canada border for security has affected trade since September 11, 2001. The new Beyond the Border vision of perimeter security, however, has renewed interest in refining and retuning the two nations’ relationship in security, trade, and transportation; the author traces problems to be addressed, as well as joint initiatives to expect.)
