Extract

Limits to Liberalization: Local Culture in a Global Marketplace. By Patricia M. Goff. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2007. 208p. $35.00.

To what extent has globalization limited national policy autonomy and eroded national identity? Conventional dialogue on this question has proven unsatisfying and even extreme, emphasizing either the supposed infallibility of markets or the evil of the World Trade Organization. Patricia Goff's book injects much-needed focus and clarity by examining the evolution of efforts by the Canadian government and the European Union to regulate international trade in the culture industries: film, radio, television, publishing, and sound recording.
