Resumen

This study evaluates the new Commission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC) for its potential to contribute to the improvement of the U.S.-Mexico border environment. Drawing on theories of agency influence applied to the CEC, the authors argue that the CEC is currently in a weak position to undertake significant new environmental initiatives along the U.S.-Mexico border. The CEC 's formal mandate and gaps in current institutional mandates may enable the CEC to become an important element in transboundary environmental management at the border if its member governments are willing to support it.
