Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since the passage of NAFTA in the mid-1990s and, more recently, September 11th, Canada and the United States have experienced continued pressures toward broader and deeper integration. Paradoxically, however, subnational actors, in some instances, are taking on a more pivotal role in policy areas that have traditionally been the domain of the nation-state, including the security and economic realms. 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 Greater Golden Horseshoe region (extending from Toronto across the Niagara River to Western New York) as a case study of the contradictions, tensions and opportunities for collaboration that arise in this context. 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 to both the US and Canadian governments.
