Highly critical and controversial, this comparative volume, uses a
well-established centre-periphery model (from World-Systems Theory
and Dependency Theory) to study free-trade agreements, focusing on
three countries (Australia, Canada and Mexico) with comparable
locations within global capitalism as the basis for comparison.
For most of the twentieth century, Australia, Canada and Mexico
were engaged in national projects of development. By the end of the
twentieth century, all three had departed significantly from these
projects under the weight of neoliberal globalism, symbolized by
the signing of free trade agreements with the United States. This
shift of economic paradigm towards neoliberalism and the political
shift in the international political economy to one of unparalleled
U.S. hegemony raises the spectre of 're-peripheralisation' for all
three countries.
Arguing that 're-peripheralisation' is already underway in all
three countries and can only be reversed by adopting alternative
projects appropriate to the twenty-first century, this book is a
valuable resource for all students of international trade and
politics.
