As a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement Canada''s relations with Mexico and Latin America have reached a turning point both politically and economically. Beyond Mexico is a timely assessment of the dynamic state and the prospects of Canada''s relations with Latin America. Every day, trade developments under nafta are redefining political, economic and social connections between Canada, Mexico and the United States. In this well-documented, policy-relevant and eminently accessible study, specialists address the challenges raised by non-governmental organizations, security and human rights issues, inter-municipal exchange programs, Canada''s membership in the Organization of American States, and by successive crises in Haiti. This collection looks beyond NAFTA to explore the range and realities of Canada''s involvement in the entire hemisphere.

Raúl Prebisch was a leader in economic development theory and international economic policy, an institution builder, and an international diplomat. The Life and Times of Raúl Prebisch provides the first book-length account of his life and work, a story cast against the backdrop of Latin America, the Cold War, the rise of the United Nations, and the struggle for equity between first and third worlds. A wunderkind, Prebisch occupied key positions at the Argentine ministry of finance in his twenties and was the general manager of the Argentine Central Bank before forty. Exiled by Juan Perón after World War II, he became arguably the most influential Latin American official at the UN, heading such international organizations as the Economic Commission for Latin America and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

First published in 1989, Sovereignty and Security in the Arctic explores the emergence of the polar region as a central concern in international politics and examines the complex issues of sovereignty and security that result. It deals with the issues from three broad perspectives: It analyzes the strategic thinking of the superpowers and their allies, and the various stances they have adopted towards the region; it discusses the prospects for regional arms control, considering developments in superpower relations in the Gorbachev era and confidence-building measures; it looks at the legal, regional, and bilateral issues raised by superpower rivalry in the region. In particular, the perspectives of Canada and the Nordic states are examined, showing how they attempt to limit the dominance of the superpowers and so enhance their own sovereignty.By using this comprehensive circumpolar approach, this book fills a gap in the literature. It also illustrates the full complexity of designing a realistic Arctic security policy for the 1990s.

"Un estudio monumental, producto de una ingente investigación basada en valiosas fuentes de archivo, charlas de carácter íntimo y, sobre todo, una percepción y análisis magistrales de las ideas de Prebisch y de las situaciones que encaró a lo largo de su carrera. Este libro constituye una lectura de referencia esencial para comprender nuestra actual era de la globalización y el dominio del libre mercado, y resulta muy recomendable para los responsables de formular la política". Rangaswami Krishnamurti, ex director, UNCTAD. Raúl Prebisch destacó en la teoría del desarrollo económico y la política económica internacional, fue fundador de instituciones y diplomático internacional. La vida y la época de Raúl Prebisch proporciona un detallado relato de su vida y su obra que se fueron sucediendo contra el telón de fondo de América Latina, la guerra fría, el ascenso de Estados Unidos y la lucha por la equidad entre el Primer y el Tercer Mundo. Fue un niño prodigio, ocupó posiciones clave en el Ministerio de Finanzas argentino con veintipocos años y llegó a gerente general del Banco Central antes de haber cumplido los cuarenta. Exiliado por Juan Domingo Perón después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cabría afirmar que se convirtió en el latinoamericano más influyente de la ONU, donde dirigió organizaciones internacionales tan prestigiosas como la Comisión Económica para América Latina (CEPAL) y la Conferencia sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD). "Raúl Prebisch fue un hombre extraordinario que se encontró en el centro de muchos debates clave en la evolución de la economía internacional de posguerra. Dosman muestra cómo sus contribuciones tuvieron un alcance mucho mayor de lo que muchos imaginan. Este libro constituye una lectura imprescindible para todos aquellos interesados en América Latina, la economía política, el desarrollo internacional y la gobernanza global en el siglo XX".
