The Security Agenda:

Driving Deep Integration

From: Living with Uncle

$2.00

Using NAFTA as a jumping off point this chapter analyzes the driving force of deep integration becoming security. Specifically looks at the US calling for unprecedented integration among Canada’s customs, immigration, transportation, security intelligence, policing, and military functions and those of the United States, and threatening economic sanctions in the form of border delays and closures if its demands are not met.
