Canadian--American Environmental Relations: Interoperability and Politics.

The article focuses on serious tensions in the Canada-United States relationship in recent years, sparked by both a marked divergence in the domestic and international policy priorities in the two countries. There is a thickening network of relationships at the subnational and cross-border regional level that is changing the very nature of Canada-U.S. environmental relations. The Canadian-American environmental relationship has been driven largely by the need to deal with pressing transjurisdictional pollution problems, to manage shared resources as well as resolve related disputes.
