| Summary: | Since 1909, the waters along the Canada-U.S. border have been governed in accordance with the Boundary Water Treaty, but much has changed in the last 100 years. This volume brings together experts from both sides of the border to examine the changing relationship between Canada and the United States with respect to shared waters, as well as the implications of these changes for geopolitics and the environment. The contributors explore possible frictions between governance institutions and contemporary management issues, illustrated through analyses of five specific transboundary water "flashpoints." They offer both a historical survey of transboundary governance mechanisms and a forward-looking assessment of new models of governance that will allow us to manage water wisely in the future. |
