Abstract
ABSTRACTThe landlocked Canadian province of Alberta is an anomaly in the study of Canadian borders and borderlands. Major export sectors are increasingly dependent on negotiated access to US and other foreign markets, and sometimes to conditions imposed by other provinces. Major Alberta-based firms and sectors have extensive international operations dependent on efficient borders and predictable rules-based regulatory systems at and beyond borders. Regulatory regimes governing border and trans-border regions vary widely across sectors. Key factors affecting cross-border trade and travel include dispersed markets and related trade corridors, highly segmented production and distribution processes across and within sectors, highly variable commodity price cycles, risks of significant political shocks and ongoing contestation affecting interprovincial and trans-border trade, investment and travel.
