边疆学协会(ABS-Association for Borderlands Studies)是美国设立的进行边疆学研究的学术团体,成立于1976年。该协会最初定位于研究美国与墨西哥之间的边疆问题,后来向更为宽广的领域延伸。该协会声称涉足研究的是当代边疆问题,包括区域经济一体化、新近民族国家的出现、民族冲突的培植、边疆开放与安全以及跨境问题管理制度化的需求(包括了从移民到共同面临的环境问题的关注,再到公共健康和经济发展的关注)。

The Association of Frontier Learning (ABS-Association for Borderlands Studies) is an academic body established by the United States to carry out research on borderland studies. It was founded in 1976. Initially positioned to study the border issue between the United States and Mexico, the association later extended to a broader area. The association claims to be involved in the study of contemporary frontier issues, including the need for regional economic integration, the emergence of newly developed nations, the cultivation of ethnic conflicts, the opening up of borders and security, and the institutionalization of cross-border issues management (including from immigration to common issues Environmental concerns, and then public health and economic development concerns).
