Abstract: Abstract Cross-border areas per se pose various difficulties for coordinated management of social and economic activities in the increasingly interactive world. When addressing such cross-border issues as security, organized crime, drug trafficking, and human smuggling, both countries sharing a common border suffer as a result of this symbiotic contraband trading, and therefore both have an obligation to help contain it. Moreover, closer collaboration will bring greater success on this front than would additional unilateral effort, however vigorous. Interdiction at the frontier can only partially impede trafficking in people and goods. For this reason, both demand reduction and interior enforcement in of all countries concerned are crucial components of any long-term solution to security problems at the border.
