<br> Pastor's book constitutes a brave master plan, a bright vision to challenge and enlighten future generations.... He presses his case with intelligence and good humor, marshaling data to demonstrate that all three nations would be better off adopting cooperative solutions to common problems. --Foreign Affairs<br><p><br> A 'big idea' book that no one could have written as well as Robert Pastor. He knows the substance and the sensitivities better than anyone. --Jorge Casta eda, Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs (2000-2003) <br><p><br> Pastor has done a superb job of bringing these issues to the forefront and raising insightful questions about how far the United States, Canada, and Mexico should integrate themselves. How these questions are answered will help determine the competitiveness of all three countries in the global economy. --James A. Baker III, 61st U.S. Secretary of State <br><p><br> Business and boldness led Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.A. to come together in NAFTA--for economic reasons. Robert Pastor argues that our continent is much more than just an economy. He spells out both the logic, and the logistics, of making much more of the enormous potential of the North American community, while respecting national sovereignty and identity. And he poses the critical question: are we bold enough? --The Right Honorable Joe Clark, 16th Prime Minister of Canada <br><p><br>
