A Common Currency Conundrum: NAMU’s Benefit to Canada Critically Analyzed

After being given the chance to serve as a junior editor for a different Social Contract portfolio, the prospect of publishing my own work really started to intrigue me. My research papers tend to be quite accessible and 'consumable' for general readership, so I decided to submit an essay I was proud of. I aimed to emphasize the intersection of political science and economics in this piece, showcasing how policy research can foster or sometimes hinder new paths of economic integration. This piece on NAMU explores international policy options but is ultimately focused on assessing the relevance to Canada, which is one of my passions in research.

Abstract

After being given the chance to serve as a junior editor for a different Social Contract portfolio, the prospect of publishing my own work really started to intrigue me. My research papers tend to be quite accessible and 'consumable' for general readership, so I decided to submit an essay I was proud of. I aimed to emphasize the intersection of political science and economics in this piece, showcasing how policy research can foster or sometimes hinder new paths of economic integration. This piece on NAMU explores international policy options but is ultimately focused on assessing the relevance to Canada, which is one of my passions in research.
