Toward a North American Community: Mexico’s Strategic Relations with Canada

In this collaboration the authors state that over the past decade the relations between Mexico and Canada have experienced a substantial qualitative change which has led them to consider themselves today as “strategic partners”. They maintain that both countries have pledged to build a wide-range political and trade agenda of cooperation, in which not only the respective governments and business groups participate, but also academic and civil organizations. From a historical point of view, they address the main factors of these bilateral relations, in order to understand their present circumstance and the challenges faced, as well as the prospects for the construction of a North American community.
