Description and Table of Contents
Description
So Near Yet So Far provides an in-depth look at the multiple dimensions of Canada-US relations, particularly since 9/11. Based on almost 200 interviews with policy makers, opinion-shapers, and interest group leaders in both countries, this book considers the interaction of domestic and cross-border politics at several levels, including political-strategic, trade-commercial, cultural-psychological, and institutional-procedural. It will appeal to practitioners, scholars, and citizens of both countries who want a better understanding of how the Canada-US relationship works - and can be made to work more effectively. Balanced and fair, it gets to the core issues without distorting perspectives on either side of the border.
