It is no longer sufficient to examine discrete nation-states in isolation from each other. In Politics in North America: Redefining Continental Relations, prominent authors from Canada, the United States, and Mexico explore the politics of redefining the institutional, economic, geographic, and cultural boundaries of North America. The contributors argue that the study of politics in the twenty-first century requires simultaneous attention to all levels (local, national, and international) as well as, increasingly, to continents. This argument is explored through the historical and contemporary social and political forces that have created competing visions of what it means to belong to a North American political community. In this process, new debates emerge in the book concerning the appropriate role for the state, as well as the meaning of sovereignty, democracy, and rights.
This is a valuable compilation of the history of Canada, covering the period from 1535 to 1913. It presents details on the personalities and events that shaped the history of Canada. The book includes descriptions of the country's geography, culture, politics, economy, military, etc. It keeps the readers curious with less-known facts about Canada and includes short biographies of the famous people that lived there. Canada is one of the second-largest countries in the world by area occupying roughly the northern forty percent of the continent of North America. Yet, despite the large size, it is one of the world's least populated countries.
