Abstract	The following work suggests that 6 years after the 9-11 attacks, security policies in North America present two distinct features: on one hand, the US government has imposed the region’s security standards, what has produced, on the other hand, several reactions in Canada and Mexico for and against US initiatives. Both trends have contributed to the regionalization of security. It seems clear to the author that this process is double-folded: first, borders have been maintained as the response towards external threats, namely terrorism (USA) or expansionism (Canada, Mexico); second, the US government seems to be in need of a safety perimeter, objective that has led to several bi- and tri-lateral agreements. This process has allowed the emergence of a “selective Customs Union”, in which cooperation in security issues are in the top of the agenda.
