{"product_id":"binational-commons-tony-payan-9780816541058","title":"Binational Commons: Institutional Development and Governance on the U.S.-Mexico Border","description":"Studying institutional development is not only about empowering communities to withstand political buccaneering; it is also about generating effective and democratic governance so that all members of a community can enjoy the benefits of social life. In the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, cross-border governance draws only sporadic--and even erratic--attention, primarily in times of crises, when governance mechanisms can no longer provide even moderately adequate solutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume addresses the most pertinent binational issues and how they are dealt with by both countries. In this important and timely volume, experts tackle the important problem of cross-border governance by an examination of formal and informal institutions, networks, processes, and mechanisms. Contributors also discuss various social, political, and economic actors and agencies that make up the increasingly complex governance space that is the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBinational Commons\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on whether the institutions that presently govern the U.S.-Mexico transborder space are effective in providing solutions to difficult binational problems as they manifest themselves in the borderlands. Critical for policy-making now and into the future, this volume addresses key binational issues. It explores where there are strong levels of institutional governance development, where it is failing, how governance mechanisms have evolved over time, and what can be done to improve it to meet the needs of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands in the next decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors \u003cbr\u003e Silvia M.
