"A must-read for scholars in foreign policy, History Has Made Us Friends puts the special relationship between Canada and the United States front and centre, conveying the origins and development of that relationship and how it plays out in a variety of issue areas." Patrick James, University of Southern California"The authors draw our attention to the weakening of the view that there is a unique relationship between Canada and the United States, due in large part to changes in the structure of the international system. The book has important implications for Canadian policymakers who are well advised to use all means available – economic, diplomatic, and personal – to hold on to exemptions from US punitive policies, such as a 10 percent global tariff. The argument that the two neighbors enjoy a "special relationship," however, will be increasingly difficult to maintain, as the edited volume clearly articulates." H-Diplo
