What happened to BIOS & borderlines?
Beginning Feb. 1, 2002, the IRC merged the U.S.-Mexico and border work which we conducted through our Border Information & Outreach Service (BIOS)–including publication of borderlines and distribution of our eZine, the borderlines UPDATER–into a new initiative, the Americas Program. We will continue to produce information, analyses, commentaries and other materials on border and U.S.-Mexico affairs, but will also be expanding our coverage to look at other transnational issues in the Americas, such as crossborder citizen organizing, structural adjustment in Argentina, the FTAA, or U.S. antidrug policy in Columbia. As part of this change, we have stopped publication of borderlines and are now offering all our analyses, policy briefs, and articles online in printer-friendly format. Our email based supplement, the borderlines UPDATER, is still available, but has been renamed the CROSSBORDER UPDATER to reflect our new expanded scope of focus.
