Abstract
First of all, cross-border research includes but still is different from the research on cross-border areas. With regard to cross-border areas, we have only a very restricted geographical scope —that is, each border area must be defined as of a certain geographical area. For example, in China, international border trade covers an area 15 km from the border. This is a narrow definition. Peach includes 23 counties of the four states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, all of which share a border with Mexico in a broad definition of a border-area. This area also includes Culberson and Dimmit counties of Texas, which are proximate to the border. Other research tasks have defined the US side border-area in an even wider geographical scope.
