In \u003cem\u003eMaking North America\u003c\/em\u003e, James Thompson uses the Canada–US Free Trade Agreement of 1988 and the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1994 to demonstrate that there has been an often-unrecognized impulse behind the process of North American integration – national security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing interviews with key decision-makers from all three countries, including Brian Mulroney, George H.W. Bush, and Carlos Salinas, \u003cem\u003eMaking North America\u003c\/em\u003e is a rigorous analysis of the role national security has played in North American integration. Furthermore, Thompson’s evidence suggests that the processes at work in North America are part of a global phenomenon where regions are progressively coalescing into larger-scale political entities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167329140976,"sku":"9781442665149","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442665149_p0.jpg?v=1763811714","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442665149","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
