Autonomous State provides the first detailed examination of the Canadian auto industry, the country's most important economic sector, in the post-war period. In this engrossing book, Dimitry Anastakis chronicles the industry's evolution from the 1973 OPEC embargo to the 1989 Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and looks at its effects on public policy, diplomacy, business enterprise, workers, consumers, and firms.
Using an immense array of archival sources, and interviews with some of the key actors in the events, Anastakis examines a fascinating array of topics in recent auto industry and Canadian business and economic history: the impact of new safety, emissions, and fuel economy regulations on the Canadian sector and consumers, the first Chrysler bailout of 1980, the curious life and death of the 1965 Canada-US auto pact, the 'invasion' of Japanese imports and transplant operations, and the end of aggressive auto policy-making with the coming of free trade.
More than just an examination of the auto industry, the book provides a rethinking of Canada's tumultuous post-OPEC political and economic evolution, helping to explain the current tribulations of the global auto sector and Canada's place within it.

"Autonomous State is an extremely comelling account of the evolution of the Autopact and associated issues. It is a very significant contribution to research: I know of no other source that covers this period with such depth and attention to detail, and Dimitry Anastakis takes the story into uncharted territory. The author also presents a picture of Canadian aggressiveness and determination to get its way with the U.S. That is often absent from the popularly conceived image of the North American relationship" -- Bruce Muirhead, Department of History, University of Waterloo.
