Summary

Border Crossingsis the first Canadian analysis of globalization and internationalization to go beyond broad generalities and recognize that those forces have influenced the various policy fields in very different ways. Throughout the emphasis is on the policy process - policy ideas, including various conceptions of national sovereignty; policy communities and the influence of interest groups; interdepartmental relations in the federal government; and changes in policy instruments. This book is also unusual in recognizing the complex relationship between the national and international forces that influence Canadian public policy. To that end, the fourteen contributors have been drawn variously from the public-policy and the international-relations specialties; each of the selected policy fields is examined intensively from both points of view.
