Title
Collective Efficacy Across Borders : The Case of Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont
Abstract
The authors argues that cross-border communities can engage with one another to reduce the transaction costs associated with a securitized border. Using Collective Efficacy Theory to frame this argument, and focusing on the Eastern Townships village of Stanstead and the neighbouring Vermont village of Derby Line, they propose that there are certain effectual variables that are important to successful cross-border community engagement. The authors concludes with some observations about the nature of borders, including the fragmented nature of international borders, and the role of competing values, norms, and discourse in defining the border as an institution.
