/ 1 / WOODROW WILSON CENTER

Mission Statement The Woodrow Wilson Center is the living, national memorial to President Wilson, established by Congress in 1968 and headquar- tered in Washington, D.C. The Center is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a neutral forum for free, open, and informed dialogue. The Center’s mission is to com- memorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy and by fostering research, study, discussion, and collaboration among a broad spec- trum of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and international affairs. In addition to the more than 700 meetings and lectures it holds each year, the Wilson Center maintains an active campaign of outreach through books, newsletters, the award-winning Wilson Quarterly magazine, and the globally syndicated dialogue radio and television programs.

Occasional Paper Series

Transboundary tHIs publiCation contains four papers from a two-day conference on Transboundary Environmental Governance in Canada and the United States, Environmental held at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars on May 8 and 9, 2008, and organized by the Canada Institute. The conference aimed to provide Governance in participants with a better understanding of the varied institutional arrangements that make up environmental cross-border governance between Canada and the Canada and the United States, and determine whether these arrangements have had a substantive impact on the bilateral environmental relationship. United States Much of the discussion throughout the conference focused on the relevance and impact of the International Joint Commission (IJC) on bilateral environmental issues. Through the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, the International Joint Commission was granted a broad range of powers by the Canadian and United States gov- ernments to jointly manage transboundary water resources. The IJC’s institutional structure—allowing equal representation from both countries and a commitment to binational consensus in its decision making—has been heralded as a model for building international cooperation between countries. As Stephen Brooks points out in his paper, however, very little work has been carried out to determine the IJC’s impact or effectiveness in resolving transboundary water disputes. He maintains that the IJC is in fact in danger of becoming marginal- ized in issues of cross-border governance as a result of the creation of many other institutions that share its mandate. Consequently, says Brooks, the IJC has been relegated to a less prominent role than had been envisioned when it was created over 100 years ago. Timothy Heinmiller makes the case that although the IJC and its international river management regimes have been essential to the political economy of the Prairie region for decades, they now threaten the region’s stability by adhering to water management policies that do not reflect a changing climate. Implementing needed institutional reforms that promote environmental sustainability, Heinmiller says, will require overcoming significant political pressure from sectors with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
