Description
In this new edition of Uneasy Partnership, Geoffrey Hale examines the interdependent relationship between Canadian governments and businesses, considering governments' multiple roles in the economy and their implications for the business environment. Hale provides an overview of the historical dimensions of Canada's political economy and relations between government and business. Readers are invited to consider topics such as corporate power, the implications of Canada's economic structure, regional economic differences, the cross-cutting effects of globalization, and the role of interest groups in political and policy processes. In a thoughtful and well-researched style, Hale lays out how the partnership between business and government in Canada is an uneasy one-and one whose capacity to adapt to ongoing change is essential in an uncertain world.
