This book offers a crisp and thoughtful account of political
phenomena still fresh in the minds of Canadians, and with
continuing relevance to policy-making processes. As the first major
work on the origins, strategies, and activities of movements and
coalitions that arose in Canada and spread across North America to
oppose free trade, it captures an important developmental period in
Canadian political life.
Focusing on an analysis of the Action Canada Network, Jeffrey
Ayres adopts a political-process model to link the emergence of
popular sector movements and transnational networks to constraints
posed by the Canada-US FTA and NAFTA. His extensive use of popular
writings and interviews highlights the personal reflections of
coalition members and provides an intimate perspective on their
strategies and actions. As a contribution both to the study of
recent developments in Canadian politics and to our understanding
of emerging transnational contention in North America, Defying
Conventional Wisdom will appeal to readers across a wide spectrum
of interests and backgrounds.
