Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The world is witnessing continued movement toward broader and deeper integration among nation-states in various regions of the world. Paradoxically, however, subnational actors, in some instances, are taking on a more pivotal role in areas that have traditionally been the domain of the nation-state, including the security and economic realms. This paradox is seen explicitly in the case of Canada-US relations since the passage of NAFTA in the mid-1990s and has intensified since September 11, 2001. According to some studies, NAFTA has resulted in an increasing level and diversity of subnational political, economic and social links between Canada and the United States, links that are most intense among stakeholders at the border and are a key feature of present-day Canada-US relations. This paper will explore this paradox using the Buffalo-Niagara/Southern Ontario cross border region as a case study of supranational organization and subnational regional autonomy. It will provide a useful comparative perspective vis-a-vis the European Union. Also, in keeping with the theme of the ISA Conference in 2007, it not only will discuss theoretical insights, but provide the policy implications of this phenomenon as well.
