Abstract:
|
The multifaceted border relationship between the United States and Mexico has become even more complex in the post 9/11 environment. The border closures of the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks highlighted the imperative of achieving a more secure border that still allowed people and commerce to flow across it. The March 2002 22-point US/Mexico Smart Border Agreement reflects a joint acknowledgement of the need to employ new technologies and constructively engage the private sector in the interest of achieving a secure and efficient border. The process of getting there has been impacted by the creation in the United States of the Department of Homeland Security and the Northern Command (elements of hard power); by the politics of immigration on both sides of the border in a relatively stagnant post-9/11 economy (soft power realities on both sides of the border); and by the interpersonal dynamics between Presidents Bush and Fox, made especially interesting because Fox's election marked the end of decades of PRI control in Mexican politics. This paper will analyze each of these variables and their interrelationships in an effort to understand the likely future progression of bilateral border security efforts. |
