Abstract

In order to begin to answer the driving research question as to whether the Canada–US border impedes the development of the Cascadia region as a high-technology region, a number of more general themes were relevant in framing this study. Thus, this chapter provides a review of diverse literatures and frameworks that have hitherto rarely been juxtaposed, namely the geography of borders and borderlands; the spatial dynamics of high-technology regions; transnationalism and labor mobility of the highly skilled; and cross-border institutions that facilitate or impede labor mobility. The chapter closes with a discussion of how they might be applied to research on highly skilled labor mobility within the Cascadia corridor specifically.
