Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The United States-Mexico border stretches 2,000 miles long, from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The border region, or the 60-mile-wide area that runs along the border, has the distinction of being the only place in the world where a highly developed country and a developing nation meet and share overlapping natural resources. In recent decades, the border has been a site of rapid transformation due in large part to global economic forces and increasing regional integration. Most recently, there has been a good deal of interest in augmenting the manufacturing sector along the border with the development of power plants to fuel industries and homes in Mexico and the United States. Interest in energy development in the border region has grown over the past few years due to increased local demand for electricity, regulatory reforms in Mexico that allow for the export of energy, Mexico�s lower labor costs and less-restrictive environmental regulations, and California�s energy crisis. Using theoretical frameworks developed by Saskia Sassen (1996, 1998, 2000), Aihwa Ong (2000) and Storper (1997), I argue that processes of economic globalization as well as state responses to globalization have/are restructuring and reconstituting the �shared space� along the U.S.-Mexico border. In particular, I argue that due to the location, the availability of nonsubstitutable labor, natural resources as well as permissive regulatory frameworks that characterize the northern border of Mexico, recent interest in power plant development in the region represent �territorialized economic development.�
