AbstractIn an era when countries have become politically, technologically, and economically interdependent, global integration has continued to grow. Whereas technology and monetary funds move relatively seamlessly across national borders, the movement of people continues to be problematic. Ethnic and nativist tensions continue to grow, complicating the idea of global and economic integration. As globalization continues to spread, barriers that once fell are now being extended or constructed. One such example is the flourishing economic integration between the United States and Mexico, even as on the US side of the border demands have also grown for extending the border wall. Given that economic integration is a key economic and political agenda for both the United States and Mexico, this study examines the implications of the border wall on economic integration. Specifically, does the border wall undermine the goal of economic integration for Mexico?

Political institutions have been considered important factors that influence local policy processes. This study investigates if different county political institutions, including the form of government and home rule charter, influence the processes among three policy arenas: allocational, development, and redistributive. We analyze the annual expenditure change in Florida counties from 1995 to 2008. Results show that both modernized and nonmodernized counties show similar levels of policy changes in allocational, developmental as well as redistributive policy arenas, while counties with modernized political institutions tend to experience a slightly higher, although minimal, level of policy change in each of the three policy arenas.Related ArticlesAguado, Alexander. 2018.
