The Cascadia region in its wider context

.

Chapter 3 in Knowledge Borders, 2017, pp 67-108 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 3 builds on the premise of the possibility of Cascadia as a high-tech region by exploring the economic history and contemporary economy of the Cascadia corridor with an emphasis on the urban regions of Seattle and Vancouver, BC, and how institutional apparatuses such as NAFTA may be central to the area’s future success. This chapter argues that a fundamental to understanding the economic characteristics and labor needs found in Cascadia is the realization of how it is different from the other more traditional goods and trade oriented border zones, such as Detroit–Windsor, Hong Kong–Shenzhen, and the San Diego–Tijuana, Mexico, border regions, and why transborder highly skilled labor mobility is essential to the evolving success of the Cascadia region.
