The U.S.-Canadian Border

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the the issues that the United States and Canada share regarding their common border and how these issues are being dealt with. The paper first presents a brief history of Canadian statehood, followed by a history of U.S.-Canadian relations. The paper goes on to discuss the effect the September 11th bombing of the World Trade Center has had on U.S.-Canadian border relations and issues.

From the Paper:

"The United States and Canada have shared a long and friendly history together. Next door neighbors on a geographic scale, these two countries share one of the longest borders in the world. While this border is guarded at certain points, it does not have guards at every point, making it also one of the longest unguarded borders in the world. For most of their history together, the United States and Canada have had few, if any, problems concerning their shared border. However, the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States have complicated the border issues somewhat between the two countries. Things are now different than they used to be, but people are not certain in just what direction things are going regarding the border."
