Third Border Initiative

The Third Border Initiative (TBI) is an area of policy concerning United States and the Caribbean region. The phrase was especially made popular by the administration of the President of the United States George W. Bush. The Third Border Initiative was a reference to the Caribbean region's adjacent placement to the United States of America. The policy is the ideology that behind Canada and Mexico the Caribbean region is a Sea-based border of the United States.

Overview

The initiative also builds upon the founding of the Caribbean/United States - Partnership for Prosperity and Security in the Caribbean (1997). An agreement which is sometimes called the "Bridgetown Accord". This agreement is also complemented with other agreements for Maritime co-operation between the United States and countries of the Caribbean region. These other agreements include: the Maritime Counter-Narcotics Co-operation Agreement (1996),[1] the Maritime Counter-Narcotics ("Shiprider") Agreement (1997), and the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Many of these agreements were signed between the Clinton Administration of the United States, and the various independent countries of the Caribbean region in May 1997.

gollark: Anyway, I *guess* just using a long list would kind of work if you have one conveniently available somewhere?
gollark: I disagree. It's easy enough for a human to classify it in a roughly consistent way, but it's nontrivial to automate that judgement.
gollark: Well, the ideal would be an automatic system which just randomly chooses anything people consider a "political ideology", based on how much it's being talked about.
gollark: * automatically → easily automatically
