Uncle Sam and Us analyzes the Mulroney-Chrétien era's impact on Canadian governance through two related factors, globalization from without and neoconservatism from within. Stephen Clarkson begins his study by conceptualizing the present Canadian state as a five-tiered, nested system stretching from the municipal and provincial levels, through the federal government, and on to the new continental and global spheres of governance: in effect, he argues, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization have added a 'supraconstitution' to Canada's existing institutions. His analysis concerns the changes that have occurred not just in the federal government, but in provincial and municipal governance as well. The impact of globalization and neoconservatism is examined extensively in the second part of Clarkson's study, which examines how the functions of the Canadian state have altered. Clarkson addresses the changes in a number of policy areas such as macro and monetary policy, regulatory, industrial, and trade policy, as well as social, labour, environmental, cultural, and foreign policy.In linking external forces and internal factors in his analysis, Clarkson brings together separate aspects of the Canadian state into a comprehensive understanding of the current Canadian political climate. He combines a global knowledge of the international political economy with a micro concern for detailed analyses of policy issues, and concludes that the responsibility for Canada's predicament lies less with external forces, than with Canadians and the governments they elected. He ends with a hopeful look into the future, pointing towards a realization of the shortcomings of neoconservative globalization, and the expectation of a new governing paradigm.Co-published with Woodrow Wilson Center PressConservatismCanadaGlobalizationInternational economic integrationConservatismGlobalization.International economic integration.320.520971Clarkson Stephen650752MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808760103321Uncle Sam and us4123372UNINA01476nam 22004453 450 991103164240332120251010080306.01-394-20965-71-394-20963-0(CKB)41533614700041(MiAaPQ)EBC32331262(Au-PeEL)EBL32331262(OCoLC)1545650201(EXLCZ)994153361470004120251010d2025 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierUnderground Space Use, Planning and Design1st ed.Newark :John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,2025.©2025.1 online resource (480 pages)1-394-20961-4 Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Cities from the Ground Down With cities worldwide facing pressures from rapid urbanization, climate change, and land scarcity, underground space has become a vital resource for sustainable and resilient urban development.Sterling Raymond L1851521Carmody John1411721Zhou Yingxin1828915Labbé Monique1851522Li Xiaozhao1460803Cui Jianqiang1851523MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911031642403321Underground Space4445312UNINA
