The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly changed borders and how they function around the world. Over a series of essays from a diverse group of experts, Border Security in the Age of COVID-19 will address new challenges caused by geopolitical changes, closing borders, the emergence of new intrastate borders, changes in global health security regulations, migration pressures, the application of new technologies, new attention to supply chain integrity, the reshoring of production, and illicit financial flows across international borders. Addressing various aspects of border management in Canada and around the world, the project aims at presenting readers with both analysis and, ambitiously, some prescription.
