Abstract

When most Canadian economists support the Canada-U.S. trade deal, why do most scientists oppose it? This question is approached here from the science side. The treatment concentrates on three topics which are central to politics--the state, ideology, andpower. Analyzing the trade deal in these terms shows that scientists tend to oppose it because it would restrict the scope of political exchange, because much support for it is clearly ideological, and becuase it would confer on the American authorities greater leverage over Canadian policies.
