这本书对加拿大人仍记忆犹新的政治现象进行了清晰而深思熟虑的描述，并与政策制定过程持续相关。作为第一部关于在加拿大兴起并蔓延到北美的反对自由贸易的运动和联盟的起源、战略和活动的主要著作，它捕捉了加拿大政治生活的一个重要发展时期。杰弗里·艾尔斯（Jeffrey Ayres）重点分析了加拿大行动网络，采用政治进程模型将民众部门运动和跨国网络的出现与加拿大-美国自由贸易协定和北美自由贸易协定所造成的限制联系起来。他广泛使用流行著作和采访，突出了联盟成员的个人反思，并为他们的策略和行动提供了深入的视角。作为对加拿大政治近期发展的研究以及对北美新兴跨国争论的理解的贡献，《挑战传统智慧》将吸引具有广泛兴趣和背景的读者。多伦多大学出版社衷心感谢本书得到美国加拿大研究协会和加拿大政府的部分赞助。
This book offers a crisp and thoughtful account of political phenomena still fresh in the minds of Canadians, and with continuing relevance to policy-making processes. As the first major work on the origins, strategies, and activities of movements and coalitions that arose in Canada and spread across North America to oppose free trade, it captures an important developmental period in Canadian political life. Focusing on an analysis of the Action Canada Network, Jeffrey Ayres adopts a political-process model to link the emergence of popular sector movements and transnational networks to constraints posed by the Canada-US FTA and NAFTA. His extensive use of popular writings and interviews highlights the personal reflections of coalition members and provides an intimate perspective on their strategies and actions. As a contribution both to the study of recent developments in Canadian politics and to our understanding of emerging transnational contention in North America, Defying Conventional Wisdom will appeal to readers across a wide spectrum of interests and backgrounds.
