This book provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Romero uses current economic, political, social, and environmental trends to project potential scenarios both positive and negative for the border at the midway mark of the 21st century. Nonpartisan in its politics and tackling issues from both U.S. and Mexican perspectives, this book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand and find solutions for the many intertwined issues that define this complex region of the world, and others like it. --From publisher description.
