Grounded in the idea that Canadian policy is contextual-heavily influenced by both North American and global forces-editors Monica Gattinger and Geoffrey Hale trace policy changes from the signing of CUFTA, through NAFTA and 9\/11 to the present, with a principal focus on the last decade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking at policy through a comparative lens, the text considers the contexts and factors that shape policy areas within Canada, the US, and Mexico, offering cross-comparisons and an in-depth look at their complex political, economic, and social relationships. Throughout individual chapters, the volume's contributing authors discuss their specific policy areas within this 'trilateral' or 'dual-bilateral' framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized into three parts, the first establishes the theoretical framework for comparative analysis; the second narrows the focus to significant sectoral issues; and the third focuses on trade patterns and platforms. Sectoral subsections cover a broad range of policy areas including border management, security, the North, energy and environmental policies, immigration, labour, cultural relations, transportation, and trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007203295472,"sku":"9780195432008","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195432008_p0.jpg?v=1763665137","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195432008","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
