The events of 9/11 turned North American politics upside down.
US
policy makers stopped thinking about how they could better
integrate
the economies of Mexico, Canada, and the United States and
instead
focused on security and sovereignty.
Security experts and scholars tend to view the developments
that
followed 9/11 within a bilateral framework. "Game Changer"
broadens the canvas by asking - how has Washington's desire
to keep the Canada-US and Mexico-US borders closed to security
threats
but open to the movement of people and goods influenced life in
Canada
and Mexico and relations among the three countries? Experts from
across
North America draw on international relations theory to examine
and
explain not only developments in key security areas such as
border
control and the military-industrial sector but also how policy
makers
can reconcile the need for greater regional cooperation when it
comes
to security with the desire to maintain national autonomy in
other
areas of life.
By adopting a truly North American, or trilateral, framework,
this
challenging and authoritative volume suggests new approaches
to
security in the post-9/11 world.
