Do Canada and the United States share a special relationship, or is this a mere myth that has masked stark calculations of national interest? Recent tensions over the Iraq War and ballistic missile defence have resurrected this perennial Canadian debate and triggered alarm about whether the US would make coercive linkages between issues to force Canada to change its policies.The Politics of Linkage cuts through political rhetoric and academic clichés by offering detailed accounts of postwar disputes over nuclear weapons, Arctic waters, oil and gas, and the Iraq War. Although early Cold War disputes were governed by a diplomatic culture that was genuinely "special," the limits of Canadian autonomy are now defined by the ever-shifting alignment of interest groups in Washington and by international agreements and organizations.

Bow makes [it] clear, the conditions that made that golden age possible are gone for good.- Robert Teigrob, Ryerson University (Canadian Public Policy, Vol XXXVII, No. 1) The judges in the 2010 Donner Prize competition for the best book on Canadian public policy made no mistake to choose Brian Bow's Politics of Linkage. Bow has crafted a splendid exploration of the past six decades of the United States-Canada relationship that must be ranked among the most profound on the subject.- John Herd Thompson (H-Diplo Roundtable Review, Vol XII, No 17, 2011)
