"Canada's back" announced the victorious Liberal Party in October 2015. After almost ten years of Conservative Party rule, the Harper era in Canadian foreign policy was over, suggesting a return to the priorities of gentler, more cooperative Liberal governments. But was the Harper era really so different? And if so, why?This comprehensive analysis of Canada's foreign policy during the Harper years addresses these very questions. The chapters, written by leading scholars and analysts of Canadian politics, provide an excellent overview of foreign policy in a number of different policy areas. They also offer differing interpretations as to whether the transition from a minority to majority government in 2011 shaped the way that the Harper Conservatives conceived of, developed, and implemented international policy.The analysis is gripping and the findings surprising, particularly the contention that the government's shift to majority status was far less important to foreign policy under Harper than it had been under previous governments. The reasons why reveal important insights into the Harper decade of foreign policy.

This Companion investigates the formation and evolution of trade and economic integration in North America since the implementation of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Greg Anderson and Christopher Kukucha have carefully selected expert contributors with diverse perspectives on the political economy of North American integration to conduct a rigorous examination of the agreement’s impact.Organised into three key parts, it firstly examines the context in which the modern idea of North America came into being and how this concept has since fluctuated; covering the Neoliberal Moment, post 9/11 markets and reconsideration of post-war trade. The Companion then concentrates on the impact of NAFTA on issues the agreement dealt with both directly and indirectly, achieving varying degrees of success, and how those realities both promote and limit integration. Furthermore, it examines the North American relationship between trade and security, covering the Canada-US border, cyber-security, and continental defence, and presents critical conclusions related to the political, social, and economic costs of integration.The Elgar Companion to North American Trade and Integration is an indispensable guide for academics of economics, political science and international relations. It would also be beneficial to civil servants working in trade bureaucracies or foreign and economic ministries, as well as researchers on public policy and opinion, lobbyists and legislative committee staff.
