It traces the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on Canada’s cultural policies, communications regulations, cross-border regional interactions, social policy, defence and security policy, and foreign policies beyond the Canada-US relationship. This analysis sets the transformation of Canada-US relations against the backgrounds of both economic history and theories of economic and political integration. John McDougall argues that while the members of the NAFTA are highly unlikely ever to undertake the form of political integration adopted by the European Union, Canada is already engaged in a process of policy harmonization with the United States that amounts to political integration by stealth. Thus, the \"integration question\" is, for Canada, essentially a question of preserving its democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e  List of Abbreviations \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Analysis of Canada-US Integration: Theory, Key Concepts, and Scope \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCanada-US Relations at the Turn of the Century \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Evolution of the North American Economy I: The US \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Evolution of the North American Economy II: Canada \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Origins and Nature of North American Free Trade Agreements \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePolitical Integration in Europe and North America \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNorth American Regionalism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNorth American Integration and Canadian Culture \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree Trade Agreements and Canadian Social Policies, Attitudes, and Values \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCanada-US Relations in the Twenty-first Century: The Emergence of North American Politics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Does Canada Still Make Sense? \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e  Index \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619273928984,"sku":"9781551117805","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/drifting-together-the-political-economy-of-canada-us-integration-paperback-softback-9781551117805","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
