Xxxxxxxxx and Xxx. X. Xxxxxxx identifies increased problems for trade between Canada and the U.S. Manufacturers and other businesses experience supply chain delays because of increased border security implemented after September 11, 2001. Although trade remains significant–a substantial part is intra-firm trade of parts and subcomponents between subsidiaries–in conjunction with NAFTA’s rule of origin documentation and reduced spending due to the slow recovery from the deep U.S. recession, Canadians are not visiting across the border as much and the percentage of trade with the U.S. vis-à- vis other countries has also seen some decline. Finally, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx-Xxxxx investigates, in Drug-Related Violence, Forced Migration and the Changing Face of Mexican Immigrants in the United States, whether increases in homicide rates along the U.S. border in Mexico are affecting migration to the U.S. Comparing demographics from 2000 to 2010, Xxxxx-Xxxxx finds that Mexican migrants have become better educated, indicating that more business people and professionals are moving rather than unskilled laborers. More self-employed people are moving (not just to border states) while better educated individuals, and more women, are moving to border states. Thus the violence in Mexico is causing an erosion of human capital, something that North American policy-makers should consider. We invite you to read the papers presented and to further explore the important topic of North American security and its various aspects.
