In North America and Europe, cross-border governance arrangements have provided formal and informal frameworks to support cross-border cooperation.

Analysing how these frameworks have emerged, the ways in which they have become institutionalised, and the processes by which they change is fundamental. Moreover, these frameworks are increasingly challenged by border securitization, limiting or jeopardizing decades of cross-border cooperative governance and coordinated public policies. Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance offers a series of case studies exploring these complex dynamics in the borders of the twenty-first century in both continents. To understand a range of cross-border governance frameworks, this collection addresses such topics as infrastructure development and management, resource sharing, regional politics, economics, security, human rights, the environment, culture, and community.

The book explains how cross-border governance schemes have sought to mitigate some of the negative consequences of border security policies, allowing readers to discern how concrete national power struggles between federal/national and subnational governments unfold in border areas. In a world increasingly impacted by climate change and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic, Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance sheds light on the ongoing complexity of cross-border governance and offers lessons to help mitigate these challenges.

Reviews for Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance: North American and European Perspectives

""Thanks to a systematic usage of field theory, Dupeyron, Noferini, and Payan bring much light to cross-border governance: Their findings underscore that the singular origin of power in cross-border governance emerges from the relative social skills and entrepreneurship of governments, the private sector, and non-profit actors. A must-read for border professionals and students.""--Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly, Professor and Jean Monnet Chair, University of Victoria ""Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance is an ambitious volume that aims to bring theoretical order to the study of border and transboundary governance, enabling and advancing the more systematic comparison of governance in global border regions. It is an original and valuable contribution to the borderlands literature that is sure to inspire further application of the field theory approach.""--Stephen Mumme, Professor of Political Science, Colorado State University ""The editors have succeeded in putting together a coherent set of case studies on cross-border governance, comparing border regions in North America and the southwestern part of the European Union. Since there is no single general theoretical framework available in the field of border studies, using the theory of fields works very well as a common analytical lens. The comparative orientation of the volume makes it extremely useful for academics and professionals, not only in North America and Europe but worldwide.""--Martin van der Velde, Associate Professor of Human Geography and Co-founder of the Nijmegen Centre for Border Research, Radboud University Nijmegen
