Canada Among Nations 2000: Vanishing Borders |
| Borders are coming down every day around the world. No
where is this more true than on the North American continent where Canadians,
Americans, and Mexicans find themselves increasingly deeply intertwined as a
result of the removal of trade barriers under the North American Free Trade
Agreement and the growing integration of their economies and societies. This
year's volume in the Canada Among Nations series takes stock of Canada's
evolving relationships with its most important hemispheric partner, the United
States, and looks to the future of Canada-US trade, investment, fiscal, and
monetary linkages. Although there is widespread agreement that Canada's relationship with the United States and other countries in the hemisphere must change and adapt to new economic, technological, and political realities, there is still, as yet, no national consensus on what this means for our domestic and foreign policies. |
 |
| This year's volume takes stock of these debates, indicating what
the key issues of contention are. Part I examines the bilateral relationship
focusing on trade, productivity, and labour market issues, while also looking
to broader, historical lessons from the past about how to manage the
relationship. Canada's relationships with other countries in the Western
Hemisphere and its broader, global, multilateral linkages are the focus of Part
II. Special topics for consideration include Canada's relations with Cuba,
Canada's multilateral security commitments in NATO and the UN, and the future
of the next round of the World Trade Organization following the collapse of the
troubled talks in Seattle.
