Debora L. VanNijnatten explores partnership in the context of climate change as a challenge to both countries multilaterally and bilaterally, offering numerous points for optimism about future renewed partnership rooted in confronting this issue. Greg Anderson takes a broad look at the evolution of federalism in each country, pointing to the potential of states and provinces for reinvigorating partnership. And finally, Isabel Studer closes the volume by examining how Mexico has consistently altered what for Canadians was a straightforward bilateral relationship by formally trilateralizing partnership through the NAFTA.
Over the next 25 years, partnership in Canada-U.S. relations will continue to evolve, as it has since the original publication of Forgotten Partnership in 1984. However, that this volume can tap a cross-section of scholars who continue thinking about bilateral relations cast against the complexities of partnership is a testament to the enduring utility of the dimensions of partnership identified by Doran. Twenty-five years from now, partnership will have evolved along all its complex dimensions, but the basic insights and framework of Forgotten Partnership may prove to have withstood another test of time.
