Solving the Border Paradox? Border Security, Economic Integration and the Mérida Initiative
/ Paul Ashby
Since the period of negotiations for and signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the United States has focused policy efforts towards Mexico on two macro-goals: deepening economic integration and increasing border security. This article contends that these two goals appear to be paradoxical. It shows that crossborder economic interaction has grown alongside a discursive and hard policy focus on US border security policies to meet various “threats.” Engaging with policy detail of the Mérida Initiative, it argues that the US aims to overcome this paradox by treating the whole NAFTA area as a shared economic and security space, and pushing concepts of “homeland security” beyond its frontiers. The article concludes that this is a challenging undertaking.
