Description
Book SynopsisAnastakis provides a fresh and alternative view of the auto pact that places it firmly within contemporary debates about the nature of free trade as well as North American - and, indeed, global - integration. Far from being a mere artefact of history, the deal was a forebearer to what is now known as 'globalization.'
Trade ReviewThere is no book that even approaches what Dimitry Anastakis has written. Auto Pact is the only detailed, archival-based study of the deal. The scholarship is sound and the research is very impressive. It is well written and addresses a critical Canadian industry.'
