| The essays in this
collection are the product of a conversation among scholars, spanning
national borders and disciplinary boundaries, about the increasing
integration of Canada, Mexico, and the United States and the
development of a “continental perspective.” This
conversation has been underway for some time, reflecting the causes,
challenges, and consequences of economic, cultural, and political
integration in North America. The conjunction of national elections in
all three of the great North American democracies in 2000 offered us
the opportunity to deepen this conversation and engage in scholarly
discourse from a “continental perspective.” Taken
together,
the essays in this book provide a vivid portrait of North American
democracies at the turn of the century. |
