This volume was prepared as part of the market flows and human movements component of the Borders in Globalization projecta multidisciplinary research project coordinated by Professor Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly of the University of Victoria and Professor Victor Konrad of Carleton University. The editors wish to express their appreciation to the project coordinators for their helpful insights at various stages of the project, and to project administrator Nicole Bates-Eamer, whose combination of thoroughness, efficiency, tact, and perseverance we have rarely seen equalled, and never excelled, in many years of collaborative research activity. We also wish to acknowledge the indispensable funding assistance of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. We are grateful for the timely and efficient editorial assistance of Samson Epp in assembling the manuscript, and of Emmanuel Hogg, Caroline Boudreau, Maryse Cloutier, and their colleagues at the University of Ottawa Press in shepherding it through the publication process.

The revised manuscript was submitted for publication two weeks after the imposition of the most extensive border restrictions in Canadian history in response to the global coronavirus pandemic of 2020but with mutually agreed provisions for the continuation of cross-border trade and transit of other vital occupations, not least the 1,600 Canadians commuting to work in medical facilities in southeastern Michigan, with many more in other Canada- US border communities. This kind of pragmatic adaptation to unexpected (if not entirely unforeseen) circumstancesand the realities of complex interdependence that shape Canadas bordering processeshelp to illustrate the continuing fluidity of Canadas multiple borders, even at times of exceptional freeze-up.

Foreword

Borders in Globalization, a multi-disciplinary and international research program, funded through a sshrc Partnership Grant and the European Unions Jean Monnet Program with colleagues across Canada and in 15 different countries, collected data on borders from 2012 to 2020. Our core research focus was to challenge the well-established conception that borders are primarily understood as sovereign territorial boundaries that emerge out of international treaties. The research program thus addressed fundamental how, why, and what questions about borders, a very important contribution to knowledge in a globalizing world when movement is increasingly scrutinized everywhere, and not just at the sovereign boundary line of states, and at a time when goods seem to travel more easily than humans. Indeed, the regulation of human flows across borders is fraught and highly contentious, and even today humans die crossing borders in the thousands yearly.

Our team studied border history and culture, mobility and security, environmental sustainability, and governance. As illustrated by this book, and the University of Ottawa Press series on Borders in Globalization, our research program initially approached those questions from the perspective of territories, regions, and states, to collect evidence that there were multiple challenges to the territorial trap assumption.

In this edited collection, Geoffrey Hale and Greg Anderson, with Sandy Moroz, Monica Gattinger, Patricia Dewey Lambert, Meredith Lilly, William Kerr, and Jill Hobbs, document and explore investment, travel, and migration flows taking place between Canada and the United States. The border they discuss is not a Westphalian international boundary line but a complex and multiple system of functionally focused regulations made up of multiple trade and sectoral agreements that do not only include Canada and the US ; their work points to bordering processes mirroring the functional regulatory fluidity of various scales. These form various transnational legal systems organizing the mobility of goods and people. These findings form one element of big s a-territorial suggestion that 21st-century borders of flows and mobility challenge Westphalias international boundary and territorial trap argument.
