| Sommario/riassunto: | "This book offers a crisp and thoughtful account of political phenomena still fresh in the minds of Canadians and still relevant to policy-making processes. As the first major work on the origins, strategies, and activities of movements and coalitions that arose in Canada and spread across North America to oppose free trade, it captures an important developmental period in Canadian political life." "Focusing on an analysis of the Action Canada Network, Jeffrey Ayres adopts a political-process model to link the emergence of popular sector movements and transnational networks to constraints posed by the Canada-U.S. FTA and NAFTA."--Jacket |
