Canada’s fate as a nation-state, and strains in Canadian-United States relations generated by American domination and Canadian response, have opened North America to a searching debate. This book reveals the drama of North American politics through the eyes of politicians, diplomats, civil servants, political scientists, economists, lawyers, and novelists; it exposes the present conflicts, explains them, and provides imaginative and comprehensive proposals for their resolution. First published in 1979 by the Harvard University Center for International Affairs.
