Reproductive Rights and the State: Getting the Birth Control, RU-486, and Morning-After Pills and the Gardasil Vaccine to the U.S. Market tackles a subject that remains controversial more than 60 years after ""the pill"" was approved for use in the United S

This article concerns the US half of the Canadian-US relationship in the medium future. Issues of focus include demographic and economic changes in the two countries and how the Trump presidential candidacy, aided in large part by consultant and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, tried to frame both negatively with respect to the US' history of a fairly open economy. Within the next 25 years, the United States, like most of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), will continue to have better job growth in the service industries than in manufacturing ones, necessitating an acknowledgement by both the public and private sectors that significant jobs retraining is necessary. In regard to Canada, this article argues that what is needed is more of a "tweak" to NAFTA, to recognize increased automation and include items like new computerized auto parts not covered in the original agreement, rather than a complete overhaul of the agreement. Canada and the US will still be talking to each other in 25 years' time.

Walking the Gendered Tightrope analyzes the gendered expectations for women in high offices through the examples of British Prime Minister Theresa May and U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Even at their highest positions, and while completing their greatest achievements, both May and Pelosi faced gendered critiques and intraparty challenges to their leadership. While other books have analyzed the barriers to higher office that women face, this book reveals how women in positions of power are still forced to balance feminine stereotypes with the perception of power as masculine in order to prove their legitimacy. By examining intraparty dynamics, this book offers a unique comparison between a majoritarian presidential and Westminster parliamentary system. While their parties promoted Pelosi and May to highlight their progressive values, both women faced continually gendered critiques about their abilities to lead their caucuses on difficult policy issues, such as the Affordable Care Act and two Trump impeachment votes for Nancy Pelosi, or finishing Brexit for Theresa May. Grounded in the legislative literature from the United States and Britain, as well as historical accounts and personal interviews, Walking the Gendered Tightrope contributes to the fields of gender and politics, legislative studies, American politics, and British politics.
