“More than a century has passed since the ratification of the Boundary Waters Treaty launched the modern era of transborder environmental relations between Canada and the United States. Much has been accomplished, but many challenges remain and new threats continue to emerge. Stephen Brooks and Andrea Olive have led a team of prominent scholars in taking a fresh and engaging look at these issues and setting the stage for the next century of governance.”—BARRY G.
