Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
Using same-sex marriage as a presently salient site of cultural struggle, this article asks whether the U.S. can expect economic integration with Canada - on the scale envisioned by the North American Free Trade Agreement - without feeling the influence of Canadian culture. The author comes at this question from the United States side because, while much has been written from a Canadian point of view as to whether it is possible to protect and maintain national differences in the face of economic integration with the United States, very little has been written about whether economic globalization in North America could mean that Canadian cultural norms will make their way, in some version or another, to U.S. soil. The author argues that recent legal, economic, social, and technological developments make it nearly impossible for the United States not to recognize same-sex marriage so long as it is lawful in Canada. The article concludes that the U.S. cannot maintain its historic stance of political and cultural isolationism - at least vis-à-vis Canada - in the face of economic globalization. In these circumstances, the article sketches some challenges to international and comparative legal methods and suggests that transnational economic integration may require a "transnationalization" of method.
