Water without borders?

The Boundary Water Treaty of 1909 still sets the framework for the waterways that Canada and the United States share, yet a century of change has altered what that framework must handle. Specialists from both countries assess how the cross-border partnership over these waters has evolved, and what those developments mean for global politics and the natural environment.

The collection appeared in 2013, the United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation, when attention to water shared between nations was rising. That timing makes it a fitting read for anyone following transboundary water disputes.
