foundation, a common identity and a variety of flexible cooperative forms that help the
United States mobilize strategic resources and unite other countries to address threats of
common concern. In a word, the multilateral security cooperation has greatly enhanced
the US security mobilization capabilities, which exerts huge impact on the order of the
Asia-Pacific region and puts greater security pressure on China. However, different
cooperation mechanisms also witness different depths of cooperation and suffer from
divergences among their members as well as fragmented cooperation-related issues.

127 The Transboundary Nature of National Gateway Security Governance:
A Two-tier Governance Framework
WANG Feiyi
[Abstract] Based on the transboundary nature of “national gateway” governance, this
paper intends to explore the construction of a “national gateway” governance framework
from the perspective of two-tier transboundary governance. “National gateway” security
refers to the state where national security and interests safeguarded by port supervisory
authorities are free from danger and threat through the performance of their statutory
functions as well as laws and regulations they are authorized to enforce. It also refers to
the capacity to continuously maintain national security in the entry and exit links.
“National gateway” security is not only an integral part of national security, but also an
important protective barrier for ensuring security in other domains as well as the overall
national security. “National gateway” security is in the nature of intermestic security,
which is characterized by cross-borderness and dispersion, dynamicness and linear flow,
constructiveness and initiative, spillover and symbiosis, virtuality and boundlessness.
Consequently, the time and space for prevention and control of “national gateway”
security risks will move forward and backward at the ports of entry along the cross-border
supply chain, thus rendering an attribute of transnational public goods to “national
gateway” security.
