Context
Cross-border flows are continually advancing and altering their impact on nations, states, and regional communities. While the origins of these flows are sometimes hard to anticipate at the national level, more difficult still at the community level. One particular difficulty arises in regions where multiple jurisdictions converge. In this case, divergences in language, law, policies, data practices, and other areas inhibit regional, cross-border collaboration to minimize risk and leverage opportunity.
VallesPuentes, through its work on legal education and market analysis, provides accessible, practical, and thorough insight into the relationship between local communities and cross-border flows. This work combines unique comparative regulatory and data analysis of a diversity of cross-border industry sectors, and the valuation of goods traded between them. The legal analysis brings together perspectives on industry regulations across various partner states, nations, and tribes, with local, state, national, tribal, and international data sets. With these legal and quantitative tools and perspectives, national and regional cross-border communities can seize common opportunities where only challenges once prevailed.
