Political scientists and scholars of the environment and of law explore how the human-made political institutions of the US and Canada govern or fail to govern the shared natural environment. They look not only at institutions and formal laws, but also at broader decision-making processes such as elections and data collection. Their topics include transboundary water management and governance in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin, multi-jurisdictional governance of the shared Great Lakes fishery: whether a nonbinding agreement can work, transboundary environmental governance in the Pacific West, and Canada-US relations and a low-carbon economy for North America.
