This article depicts the configuration of approaches to the scientific study of foreign policy and international politics in Canada, as represented in a systematic survey of research written in Canada and published in forty scholarly journals, some from as early as 1945 up to 1975. Scientific studies found in this sample were analyzed along four dimensions : theoretical basis ; issue area ; units upon which the investigation is based ; and method of analysis. Scientific study of international relations emerged as a largely recent yet growing phenomenon of the last decade. It constitutes a unique subfield outside the mainstream of research, and is concentrated among a relatively small group of individuals and even fewer institutions. Études internationales emerged as the single most important channel of communication for this subfield in Canada

Integration et autonomie dans les relations canado-americaines 1963-1972Les tendances à l'intégration et à l'autonomie dans les relations intergouvernementales entre le Canada et les Etats-Unis sont ici analysées pour la période de 1963-1972. Les notions d'intégration et d'autonomie sont conçues comme les deux pôles d'un continuum de relations entre nations interdépendantes; leur comportement pent être décrit en termes de réciprocité et d'engagement pour la consolidation ou l'extension de liens à l'intérieur d'une action commune.L'analyse du comportement binaire de la politique étrangère propre au Canada et aux Etats-Unis, au cours de cette période, se base stir un relève exhaustif d'événements internationaux tirés de l'histoire canadienne. Ces données servent à dégager cinq indicateurs de comportements en matière de politique étrangère pour chaque pays: les transactions socio-économiques, la coordination d'une politique, l'alignement, la satisfaction dans la distribution des bénéfices de la relation et l'orientation affective. Ces indicateurs servent ensuite à décrire les fluctuations périodiques dans l'intégration ou, au contraire, dans la désintégration en vue d'une plus grande autonomie dans les relations intergouvernementales au cours des dix années qui font l'objet de cette étude. Cette tendance est contrasté par une accentuation du commerce et des investissements entre les économies des deux pays pour la même période.

THE AUTHORS PROVIDE A BROAD OVERVIEW OF PATTERNS OF INTEGRATION AND AUTONOMY IN CANADA-UNA RELATIONS DURING THE 1963-1972 PERIOD, TOGETHER WITH AN ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION. WHAT EMERGES MOST CLEARLY FROM THE ANALYSIS IS DISCREPANCY BETWEEN CROWING CANDA-USA INTEGRATION IN THE ECONOMIC SPHERE AND CONTINUING DISINTEGRATION IN THE REALM OF POLICY. CANADIAN ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE ON USA PERSISTS.

An analysis of Canada's foreign policy toward the United States from 1963 to 1972 is used in a test of a theory of foreign policies of subordinate states in asymmetrical dyads. In this theory the interaction of two conditions—the state of a nation's economy and the extent of concentration in its linkages with a superordinate power, along with a set of conditioning environmental factors—are used to explain the foreign policy actions of the subordinate state. The findings confirm the importance of the two main exogenous factors and the environmental variables, but the interactive effect of economic performance and linkage concentration is not corroborated. In particular the statistical effects of the economic performance variable on the foreign policy indicators are positive where a negative sign was predicted.
