The Elgar companion to North American trade and integration

edited by Greg Anderson (Department of Political Science, University of Alberta) and Christopher J. Kukucha (Department of Political Science, University of Lethbridge, Canada)

"This Companion investigates the formation and evolution of trade and economic integration in North America since the implementation of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Greg Anderson and Christopher Kukucha have carefully selected expert contributors with diverse perspectives on the political economy of North American integration to conduct a rigorous examination of the agreement's impact. Organised into three key parts, it firstly examines the context in which the modern idea of North America came into being and how this concept has since fluctuated; covering the Neoliberal Moment, post 9/11 markets and reconsideration of post-war trade. The Companion then concentrates on the impact of NAFTA on issues the agreement dealt with both directly and indirectly, achieving varying degrees of success, and how those realities both promote and limit integration. Furthermore, it examines the North American relationship between trade and security, covering the Canada-US border, cyber-security, and continental defence, and presents critical conclusions related to the political, social, and economic costs of integration. The Elgar Companion to North American Trade and Integration is an indispensable guide for academics of economics, political science and international relations. It would also be beneficial to civil servants working in trade bureaucracies or foreign and economic ministries, as well as researchers on public policy and opinion, lobbyists and legislative committee staff"--
