In the article, there is a sentence: "They argue the for a fourth policy called "strategic integration." " Is it anything wrong here? Jackzhp 21:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the edit from 74.105.209.78 was good, though it should be reorganized. I just don't know the reason why simonP reversed it. i noticed this when i came back for the national policy in different period, and found that it disapperared. I thought i might be in other pages, then i googled it. The link is right, then i check the history, I found that simonP undid the edit and didn't give any explanation.

I removed that section because it is is almost completely tangential to the subject at hand. This article is about the National Policy, a specific 19th century Canadian trade policy. Eden and Molot's article discusses the long history of Canada's trade policies, and dubs each of them as "national policies." This terminology is unique to them, and in every other setting "National Policy" refers to the specific era discussed in this article. While an interesting analysis of the history of Canadian tariff structures, Eden and Molot's piece has very little to say about Macdonald's initiative. Mention of their paper would be much better placed in an article outlining the general history of Canada's trade policies. - SimonP 14:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• 1867-1940: the "National Policy" of defensive expansionism
• 1941-81: compensatory liberalism
• 1982-: market liberalism
• 200?-: strategic integration

The following was undid by SimonP, but i think it is useful:

"Eden and Molot (1993) argue that there have been three national policies in Canada: the "National Policy" of defensive expansionism, 1867-1940; compensatory liberalism, 1941-81; and market liberalism, starting in 1982. The defensive expansion phase relied on the tariff, railway construction, and land settlement to build the country. The second national policy combined a commitment to the GATT system, Keynesian macroeconomic policies, and the construction of a domestic social welfare net. Current national policy relies on Canada-US free trade and NAFTA free trade, market-based policies, and fiscal restraint. They argue the for a fourth policy called "strategic integration." It would consist of free trade, both external and internal; the building of a national telecommunications infrastructure based on the development and diffusion of information technologies; and human capital development."

Who were the economists and architechs of the "National Policy"? Who were their influences, mentors. predeccessors? What did economic debates of the period, both national and international, revolve around? The answers to these questions would greatly enhance the quality and usefullnes of this article.
