While the development of the United Nations Law of the Sea, a renewed human and indigenous rights agenda, and broadly defined environmental protection regimes have more generally worked to reinforce international if not regional boundaries, in the North the effect has been the creation of a new forum for east-west connectivity. Despite new geopolitical pressures that might launch competitive claims and challenge existing security and sovereignty concerns among North American nations, there remains a strong regional subtext of cooperation. The success or failure of transnational institutions and organizations depends upon the degree to which northern dimension policies can develop a more comprehensive definition of human security within the circumpolar north.","PeriodicalId":202897,"journal":{"name":"Southern Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124790378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nature and extent of these interdependencies are described by sector in this paper. These energy interdependencies have developed because of economic forces and policy decisions. For many years, both the United States and Canada imposed extensive regulations on their industry industries. As these regulations were gradually removed, market forces brought about significant integration of the two countries' energy industries. In recent years, institutional developments have fostered an even higher level of interdependencies. The United States-Canada free trade agreement, and its successor North American free trade agreement, reduced trade barriers in energy products and provided policy stability conducive to cross-border energy investments. The North American Energy Working Group of NAFTA and the Security and Prosperity Partnership have provided for enhanced cooperation between Canada and the United States on energy matters.","PeriodicalId":202897,"journal":{"name":"Southern Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130772464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Subnational Sabotage or National Paramountcy? Examining the Dynamics of Subnational Acceptance of International Agreements","authors":"Zagros Madjd-Sadjadi","doi":"10.22215/sjcs.v2i1.270","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22215/sjcs.v2i1.270","url":null,"abstract":"Federal states, such as Canada and the United States, face unique problems in implementing international agreements because they require the acceptance by subnational governments of these treaties even when the negotiations (i) do not involve them and (ii) may be impeding the rights of those subnational governments. Ever since the \"watertight compartments\" decision of Lord Atkin in the 1937 Labour Standards case, provincial autonomy within its sphere of influence has been a primary foci of Canadian jurisprudence. The primacy of provincial legislatures in the respective realms means that international obligations cannot be forced on them without their consent. On the other hand, both the interstate commerce clause of the US Constitution and the federal power to make treaties has been interpreted broadly to prohibit state interference in US government-signed international treaties. Even non-federal states such as the People's Republic of China have had to deal with this problem given the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau and the SARs' ability to sign international agreements without PRC involvement. This issue even affects sovereign states such as Jamaica when they are part of a common market superstructure, such as the proposed Caribbean Common Market (CARICOM). This paper examines, using examples drawn from Canada, the United States, Hong Kong, and the Caribbean, the influence subnational governments (and sovereign governments that are part of a common market) have on the viability of international agreements and uses game theory to suggest ways to balance the need to avoid subnational sabotage of such agreements without invoking a national paramountcy argument that could destroy a country's federal structure and create irreparable harm to the rights of subnational governments.","PeriodicalId":202897,"journal":{"name":"Southern Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121671902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
