The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy by Christopher J. Kukucha Pdf

During the past thirty years, international trade agreements have focused increasingly on areas of provincial jurisdiction. In The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy, Kukucha argues that Canadian provinces have maintained a level of autonomy in response to these developments, sometimes even influencing Canada's global trade relations and the evolution of international norms and standards. The first comprehensive review of provincial foreign trade policy in Canada, the book highlights the convergence of debates related to federalism, Canadian foreign policy, and the global political economy as they are played out in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of political science, public policy, and economics.

Europe, Canada and the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement by Kurt Hübner Pdf

The Great Recession and the turn towards all forms of protectionism stress the relevance of international trade policy. With the global economy undergoing deep structural changes, the negotiations between Canada and the EU on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) present a real-time experiment that sheds light on the direction that the relationships between two economic units of the G8 will take. For Canada, an agreement with the EU would end its current dependency on the US; for the EU, an agreement with Canada would be a first with a G8-economy and indicate how its new trade strategy ‘Global Europe’ will look like. This book is the first to simultaneously analyze the undercurrents of this project and introduce the main topics at hand. CETA is much more than a simple free trade agreement, its breadth covers regulatory aspects in goods, services, and finance; the opening of public procurement markets; attitudes and policies of Canadian provinces towards liberalization; climate policies and international leadership claims of the EU in comparison to Canadian policy attempts; the challenges of the Euro project and the reform efforts; and the challenges of the Euro as a international reserve currency. CETA is a challenging project that will kick-start enormous changes in trade policy-making as well as in market openness in Canada. It will mark the EU’s efforts to re-make the Atlantic Economy. This book provides deep insights into the ambiguity of the project and addresses the implications of a rapidly changing global economy for trade policy. Offering analysis of the financial industry, banking, trade policy, climate change strategy, and the Euro exchange rate, this book should be of interest to students and policy-makers alike.

Canadian Trade Policies and the World Economy by John Whalley,Colleen Hamilton,Roderick Hill,Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada Pdf

"Canada is a relatively small, open economy with a large amount of foreign trade relative to its gross national product. The majority of that trade - over 70 percent - is with the United States. Policies that either limit or encourage foreign trade are therefore more important for Canada than for many other countries."--

Free Trade Federalism by G. Bruce Doern,Mark MacDonald Pdf

The Pressures of Regional as Well as Global Free Trade Are Crossing Ever more deeply into the fabric of Canadian federalism. Based on interviews with key negotiators, and set in the entwined histories of trade policy. industrial and regional policy and federal-provincial policy Doern and MacDonald provide an integrated account of the negotiations that in 1993-1994 led to the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) between the federal government, the provinces, and both territorial governments. The authors examine both the central negotiations and the trade-offs among the federal government and key clusters of provinces and sectoral representatives in fields such as investment, regional policy, procurement. the environment, and resources. Arguing that AIT and FTA/NAFTA should be seen as the fourth and fifth pillars of Canada's bedrock institutions, joining the parliamentary system, federalism, and Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the book positions AIT as a significant achievement, signalling important changes in both federalism and policy formation. They argue that key issues regarding Canada's social union have yet to be confronted but will increasingly occur as the AIT is built upon.

Internal Trade in Canada: Case for Liberalization by Jorge Alvarez,Mr.Ivo Krznar,Trevor Tombe Pdf

This paper assesses the costs of internal trade barriers and proposes policies to improve internal trade. Estimates suggest that complete liberalization of internal trade in goods can increase GDP per capita by about 4 percent and reallocate employment towards provinces that experience large productivity gains from trade. The positive impact highlights the need for federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to reduce internal trade barriers. There is significant scope to build on the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement to more explicitly identify key trade restrictions, resolve differences, and agree on cooperative solutions.

Provincial Trade Wars by K. Filip Palda Pdf

This book explains why Canadians must rid themselves of interprovincial trade barriers. Canada's provinces do almost as much trade with each other as they do with the rest of the world. But trade between the provinces is harder than with foreign countries. We trouble our own house with an amazing variety of barriers: professionals and tradespeople cannot move freely and practice where they wish, regulation makes it hard for investments to flow to where they are most needed, provincial governments give contracts to local firms even though out-of-province firms can do the job at a lower cost, Ottawa pays the most generous UI to regions with the highest unemployment and thereby encourages people to stay in parts of the country with little promise. The effects of such barriers on the economy are difficult to measure, which may be the reason that little has been done about them. But Canadians cannot afford to ignore their costs. The European Community is very close to the goal of ensuring free trade among its members. Unless we unlock our potential we may fall behind other countries and communities that have recognized the importance of internal as well as external free trade.
