Followingthe acclaimed Uncle Sam and Us and the influential Does North America _x000D_ _x000D_ Exist? Stephen Clarkson — the preeminent analyst of North America’s politicaleconomy — and Matto Mildenberger turn continental scholarship on itshead by showing how Canada and Mexico contribute to the United States’ wealth,security, and global power.This provocative work documents how Canada andMexico offer the United States open markets for its investments and exports,massive flows of skilled and unskilled labour, and vast resource inputs— allof which boost its size and competitiveness — more than does any other USpartner. They are also Uncle Sam’s most important allies in supporting its anti-terroristand anti-narcotics security. Clarkson and Mildenberger explain the paradox ofthese two countries’ simultaneous importance and powerlessness by showing howthe US government has systematically neutralized their potential influence.Detailing the dynamics of North America’s powerrelations, Dependent America? is a fitting conclusion to Clarkson’scelebrated trilogy on the contradictory qualities of its regionalism —asymmetrical economic integration, thickened borders, and emasculatedgovernance.
