Recharging North America: The Trade Issue
November/December 2022 Issue
From the Editor
Recharging North America: The Trade Issue
The neoliberal rules-based international order is straining under pressure. Can we imagine a different, more cooperative and equitable way forward?
In this Issue
Electrifying North American trade
The Biden administration wants to continentalize America’s green industrial renewal. There are risks and potential rewards for Canada.

This July marked the second anniversary of the new Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Unions win the right to challenge unfair trade practices
