How do governments make key decisions on vital economic questions
of national importance? Can they advance the national interest on
issues that are highly politicized? How do they respond to
competing pressures from the international and domestic
environments? Forming Economic Policy explores these and other
questions in Canada and Mexico, two very different countries which
share a common vulnerability to the world economy. Using the case
of energy, the book argues that policymakers will address the
national interest, but only episodically with the onset of major
national crises that invoke a higher and sustained sense of
national priorities. These crises are frequently induced by the
interaction of domestic and foreign political and economic forces.
The conclusions are surprising. Despite profound political and
economic differences between these two countries, policymakers have
behaved in remarkably similar ways when arriving at key policy
decisions. The explanation - which integrates two competing views
of politics, the pluralist and the statist - has important
implications with regard to the political processes in those states
which, like Canada and Mexico, are exposed to the world economy and
face problems of political legitimacy at home. Forming Economic
Policy will appeal to students and teachers of political economy
and comparative politics as well as to those interested in the
politics of energy policy.
