Collective Efficacy Across Borders: The Case of Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont

Todd Hataley and Scott J. Mason

Journal of Borderlands Studies, 2018, vol. 33, issue 3, 433-444

Abstract: This article 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, we propose that there are certain effectual variables that are important to successful cross-border community engagement. The paper 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.
