Abstract

This published research over the past 30 years on the political economy of telecommunication and media industries is crucial toan understanding of Canada’s national system in the global context. Unfortunately, this blind spothas meant that the intellectual, cultural, and policy borders separating Canada and the United States, and that in effect impact all three NAFTA partners, including Mexico, contribute to an unhealthy scholarly insularity.
