Abstract
The Sonora-Arizona region has a historical background and strong economic and social ties that lead to considering it as a binational region. In recent years, apart from the growth and intensification of the cross-border integration of productive activities, attempts have also been made to promote collaboration in the areas of science and technology, seeking the creation of Cross-Border Regional Innovation Systems (CBRIS). The objective of this work is to make an assessment of the level of integration of the CBRIS in a specific sector, the table grape. The assessment was carried out using the methodology originally proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which is made up of ten dimensions comprising a set of variables that are considered as “proximities”. The original variables were operationalized to use available secondary statistics and assess the dimensions to thereby define the level of integration. This methodological process is proposed to evaluate asymmetric regions such as this cross-border region.
