For George and Ronya Kozmetsky Dedicated visionaries and entrepreneurial champions for an improved quality of life for all residents of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, of Texas, of the Nation, and of the world. Thank you for your valued insights and contributions that continue to grow and multiply. II. The global to-do list has never been more daunting. New arteries for transport, trade, finance, and communications require constantly updated rules. Freer, faster movement across borders necessitates filters to separate terrorists from traders and levees to contain infectious disease, pollution, invasive species, and financial disruption. Technologies of literally world-shaking power… create a set of truly global issues… The information revolution has expanded the opportunities for citizens, experts, nongovernmental organizations, businesses, and foundations to work with governments and with each other to solve problems… Ignoring demands for transparency broader participation in today’s world is a sure recipe for eventual failure. P.J. Simmons Carnegie Endowment for International Peace August 17, 2002 Explaining South Texas has always been a challenge: Where others see lines on a map, we see a limitless horizon of opportunity. Where others see two cultures, side-by-side, we recognize our home: bicultural, bilingual, a combination of the best, transformed into one. Mary Rose Cardenas, Chairman Texas Southmost College Board of Trustees 2002 III. There is no choice in whether this region will grow or not. If we closed the border tomorrow - every bridge in South Texas and all the way to El Paso, and if we stopped migration from the North – we would still have 230% growth in 30 years. That is the nature of the current demographics. The only choice we have is whether we will be proactive or reactive to these changes. The Coordinating Board, The Texas Board of Regents, and the Governor’s Business Council have embraced the premise that we need to do a better job of educating this population. If we don’t, The Great State of Texas will be in a steady demise – economically, socially, and politically. Juliet Garcia, President The University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College Interview, August 28, 2002 Through technology-, civic-, and social-entrepreneurship, I envision a Binational Border Region that is dedicated to utilizing 21st century know-how, technology, policies, and initiatives for tomorrow’s knowledge society. A region that is dedicated to wealth and opportunity creation for all its citizens, making the Valley a better place to live, work, play, and raise families in harmony, peace, and prosperity.

It focuses on two initially very similar cross- border pairs of cities (McAllen, TX - Reynosa, Tamaulipas and Brownsville, TX - Matamoros, Tamaulipas) along the U.S. - Mexico border. The comparison of these two cross-border city pairs reveals that differences in patterns of local behavior led one small city on the US side, McAllen, to successfully exploit the opportunities offered by NAFTA after 1994.
