What is the role of intergovernmental institutions and transnational policy networks in the management of North American natural resources? The articles presented in this special volume provide some answers to this question and contribute to an ongoing discussion about bilateral and trilateral resource management. This concluding article pulls together the major themes, questions, answers, and avenues for further research presented in the special volume. There is broad consensus that post‐bureaucratic interactive agencies are developing in bi‐ and trilateral resource management but notable policy outcomes are lagging. Climate change is hypothesized to be a test of Northern American governance because already we see this formidable issue further cementing fragmented bilateralism.
