This book is the story of those FTA negotiations, the preparations for and conduct of the negotiations, as well as the ideas and issues behind them. From their unique perspective as participants, Michael Hart, Bill Dymond, and Colin Robertson capture the drama and the personalities involved in the long struggle to make a free trade deal. They describe the extensive consultations, the turf-fighting among insiders, the innate caution of both politicians and bureaucrats, and the need to cultivate powerful constituencies in order to overcome the inertia of conventional wisdom. 410 0$aCanada and international relations ;$v9. 606 $aFree trade$zCanada 606 $aFree trade$zUnited States 607 $aCanada$vCommercial treaties 607 $aUnited States$vCommercial treaties 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 676 $a382/.971073 700 $aHart$b Michael$f1944-$0288993 701 $aDymond$b Bill$f1943-$01574219 701 $aRobertson$b Colin$f1954-$01574220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780682303321 996 $aDecision at midnight$93850347 997 $aUNINA
