Invisible and Inaudible in Washington

American Policies towards Canada during the Cold War

By: Edelgard Mahant,Graeme S. Mount

Edelgard Mahant and Graeme Mount examine details of White House policy from 1945 to the 1980s to assess the extent to which the United States could be said to have had a Canada policy. They challenge the popular nationalist view that Canada has been treated as peripheral and dependent, but also counter the opposing view that Washington has respected Canadian advice and benefitted from it. Instead, they argue that for the most part Canada has mattered little in Washington and that America's Canada policy is largely an ad hoc affair.

Invisible and Inaudible in Washington

American Policies Toward Canada

By: Edelgard Elsbeth Mahant,Graeme Stewart Mount

How does the United States view Canada? As a country too unimportant to deserve any defined policy, or one that is to be used simply to complement the U.S. mission in the world? This book investigates the gap between Canadian perceptions of American policy toward Canada and actual U.S. policy.Mahant and Mount examine details of White House policy from 1945 to the 1980s to assess the extent to which the United States could be said to have had a Canada policy. They use a large number of cases dealing with political and economic issues to illustrate their arguments, concluding that for the most part Canada has been unimportant in Washington. In so doing, they challenge the popular nationalist view that Canada has been treated as peripheral and dependent, and the impression that Canadian advice has been respected and taken into account by Washington.

Birthmarks of Europe

The Origins of the European Community Reconsidered

By: Edelgard Mahant

By studying the negotiations which led to the conclusion of the original Treaty of Rome and the creation of the European Economic Community, this informative book, based on recently released archival sources, analyses the Franco-German bargain which shaped the Community's initial framework and policies. This is not just another book about Franco-German relations and the founding of the European Union. It presents a new theoretical framework which relates the founding of the European Community to its later development. An attempt to apply the ideational framework of the original Community to later developments, such as the single market and the Treaty on European Union, finds that the Union is still shaped by many of the ideas of the founding fathers. Birthmarks of Europe will be useful to teachers and students of the history and politics of the European Union, as well as to those studying the dynamics of the development of other regional integration networks.
