Abstract
This book provides border management
policymakers and reformers with a broad survey of key
developments in and principles for improving trade
facilitation through better border management, including
practical advice on particular issues. In contrast to the
traditional border management reform agenda, with its focus
on improving customs operations, this book addresses both
customs reform and areas well beyond customs-a significant
broadening of scope. The book thus presents a new, more
comprehensive approach to trade facilitation through border
management reform: an approach that embraces a much wider,
'whole of government' perspective. The objective
of this book is to summarize and provide guidance on what
constitutes good practices in border management-looking
beyond customs clearance. The contributions to the volume
make clear that there are no simple or universally
applicable solutions. Instead, the aim is to provide a range
of general guidelines that can be used to better understand
the complex border management environment and the
interdependencies and interrelationships that collectively
need to be addressed to secure meaningful change and improvement.
