North American policy areas covered include: border management, security, the North, energy and environmental policies, immigration, cultural relations, and labour. Current and comprehensive, Borders and Bridges is the ideal text for students of Canada's international policy relations.

Editorial Reviews

"In short, it is an overdue and much needed book-creating a conversation in the field of comparative policy relations and suggesting ways in which the field should continue to be studied."
