“…and interconnections (how do elements relate to each other?)" (Wong Villanueva, Kidokoro and Seta, 2020). By far the strongest theme uncovered in this work is that such systems components are being brought together and reconceived most often and in innovative ways at transnational regional level, especially in borderland areas close to borders.…”

“…To evaluate the recent environmental cross-border governance brought by the USMCA at the U.S.-Mexico border region, the theoretical framework model of Wong Villanueva et al [41] was applied. In particular, how well the new model complied with the ten criteria considered to drive "good" cross-border governance (CBG), see Table 1.…”

Environmental Governance at an Asymmetric Border, the Case of the U.S.–Mexico Border Region

Environmental issues at the U.S.–Mexico border have been approached in a fragmented way and considered of minor political interest; even though they have been addressed in treaties and agreements, regional environmental pollution persists. One may ask what sort of measures should be taken to address the complex and long-term environmental problems in the U.S.–Mexico border region. To answer this question, an environmental cross-border governance proposal was evaluated by applying Qualitative Analysis of Textual Data to the text of Chapter 24 of the USMCA treaty. The results indicated that the environmental policies concerning the border region still lack a coherent systemic approach, and hence will lead to inefficiency. Territorial development is heavily dependent on national environmental governance and priorities; however, environmental issues should be understood in an integral, complex and deeply entangled way if they are to be effectively addressed. Otherwise, environmental degradation is likely to expand due to population growth and events associated with climate change.
