About this book

Detailing the dynamics of North America's power relations, Dependent America? is a fitting conclusion to Clarkson's celebrated trilogy on the contradictory qualities of its regionalism — asymmetrical economic integration, thickened borders, and emasculated governance.

Reviews

Jeffrey Ayres, Department of Political Science, Saint Michael's College.:
"Dependent America? is an engaging bookend to a remarkable trilogy on the elusive North American community. Clarkson and Mildenberger provide a refreshing challenge to the conventional wisdom of the U.S. as a self-determined power, and encourage especially Canadians to reflect more profoundly on their role in both constructing and limiting North America's interdependencies. The book also will certainly be welcomed as a unique contribution to broader debates on the hegemonic decline of the U.S."
