Description for Auto Pact: Creating a Borderless North American Auto Industry, 1960-1971
Paperback. Anastakis provides a fresh and alternative view of the auto pact that places it firmly within contemporary debates about the nature of free trade as well as North American - and, indeed, global - integration.

Reviews for Auto Pact: Creating a Borderless North American Auto Industry, 1960-1971
There is no book that even approaches what Dimitry Anastakis has written. Auto Pact is the only detailed, archival-based study of the deal. The scholarship is sound and the research is very impressive. It is well written and addresses a critical Canadian industry.'
