Description
The study of political geography of the United States-Mexican relations across the borderlands of the Rio Grande, deals with perhaps the world's most dramatic frontier between a developed and a developing country. The most serious problems on a constantly changing international agenda include: boundary demarcation problems; the management of scarce resources; mass movements of undocumented Mexicans into the United States, and the dramatic traffic in drugs or prostitution. The formulation of such a policy-related model of transactions across a frontier zone can be applied to any international boundary. Similarly, the disentangling of the complex web of relationships between one of the world's superpowers and a developing country, makes this book of wide general interest in the current North-South dialogue.
