摘要:This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic, social, cultural and political dimensions of the evolving trilateral relationship among the three countries of North America. Contributors address such topics as energy, the environment, trade, labour, the maquiladora industrial sector of Mexico, the Mexican auto industry, and Canada-US cultural relations. While other publications have focused on US issues, this one emphasises Canada and Mexico, yet adds significantly to our understanding of the place of the United States in this evolving trilateral relationship.
