Abstract: | The cities of San Diego and Tijuana have faced each other across the international boundary for over 100 years. The question
raised by this article is whether they comprise a binational city or region. After a brief comparison of their histories,
economies and political systems, a review of some indications of cross border attitudes and a discussion of binational regionalism
as it is impacted by continentalism, it is concluded that the relationship between these cities is driven by factors of economics
not friendship or trust.
