Can they advance the national interest on issues that are highly politicized? How do they respond to competing pressures from the international and domestic environments? Forming Economic Policy explores these and other questions in Canada and Mexico, two very different countries which share a common vulnerability to the world economy. Using the case of energy, the book argues that policymakers will address the national interest, but only episodically with the onset of major national crises that invoke a higher and sustained sense of national priorities. These crises are frequently induced by the interaction of domestic and foreign political and economic forces. The conclusions are surprising. Despite profound political and economic differences between these two countries, policymakers have behaved in remarkably similar ways when arriving at key policy decisions. The explanation "which integrates two competing views of politics, the pluralist and the statist" has important implications with regard to the political processes in those states which, like Canada and Mexico, are exposed to the world economy and face problems of political legitimacy at home. Forming Economic Policy will appeal to students and teachers of political economy and comparative politics as well as to those interested in the politics of energy policy."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aBloomsbury Academic collections : economics. 606 $aEnergy policy$zCanada 606 $aEnergy policy$zMexico 606 $2Business studies: general 607 $aCanada$xEconomic policy 607 $aMexico$xEconomic policy 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aEnergy policy 676 $a351.007/2 676 $a333.790971 700 $aHampson$b Fen Osler$0977098 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822920603321 996 $aForming economic policy$93971147 997 $aUNINA
