Richard Harris's now classic study on trade and industrial policy was written for the Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada (also known as the Macdonald Commission). First published in 1985 when the Canadian economy faced dramatic changes arising from the emergence of manufacturing competitors among newly industrialized nations and increased protectionism in the US, its recommendations were instrumental in the negotiation of the North America Free Trade Agreement. Addressing the key issues surrounding the design and choice of policies for the Canadian economy, Trade, Industrial Policy, and International Competition reviews the theory and evidence concerning trade liberalization as a mechanism to enhance economic growth, disinvestment in sections that are disadvantageous in the international marketplace, and future problems for the marketing sector caused by increasing competition from developing countries. Drawing from many streams of conventional economic thinking, Harris develops an original and sophisticated model for assessing the broader economic impacts of trade liberalization on the Canadian economy. He concludes that free trade and industrial policy should be regarded as complementary, not substitutes for one another, and recommends a free trade agreement with the United States as a top priority. A new introduction by David Wolfe situates this work within its time and shows how Harris's analytical insights and policy prescriptions are as relevant today as they when they were originally crafted three decades ago.

First published in 1983 and widely recognized as a definitive work in Canadian political economy, Not for Export examines the history of Canadian industrial development, from John A. Macdonald's National Policy of 1879 to Brian Mulroney's regional free trade agreements of recent years.Despite a high standard of living and a high level of technological know-how, Canada has exhibited a suprisingly low level of industrial development. Resource-based exports, dependence on foreign investment, and branch-plant manufacturing for the Canadian market have all been contributing factors toCanada's poor industrial performance. In fact, by any of various standards, such as manufactured exports and research and development, Canada is at or near the bottom in industrial performance relative to other industrialized nations. The failure over the years, Williams concludes, has been one ofmissed opportunities and short-term political solutions. This completely revised and updated edition of Not for Export looks at present Canadian industrial performance and future potential for an improved economy through the trifocal lens of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement, and the significantly expanded GATT agreement of December, 1993. While the future of Canadian industry is not as bleak as raw comparative data might suggest, political will and renewed business determination will be required for Canada to become a leading actor in the emergingglobal economy. The alternative - as a high-wage, low productivity economy - is for Canada to remain a regional satellite to the overwhelming United States economy, which itself is under increasing global economic pressure from the European Community and countries of the Far East.

"This paper is designed to examine the past performance and potential of manufacturing within the Canadian economy, the manner in which governments have influenced industrial development, alternative policies which could be brought to bear to strengthen the capability of manufacturing and the economy. Specifically, this paper looks at the postwar record of production, employment and foreign trade in terms of their own evolution and in relation to the economy as a whole. It compares Canadian results with those of other industrialized countries"--Object, page 5.

First published in 1980, The Transition to Reality is a look into Canada's industrial health, or lack thereof. Author John Shepherd criticizes the contemporary lack of a conscious industrial strategy in Canada, asserting that the need for a coherent policy was masked by essentially ephemeral manufacturing growth in the 1960s. He suggests policymakers focus on the mechanics of producing wealth, rather than merely distributing it. The Transition to Reality is a bracing and often contrary entry into the vibrant political economy debates of the early 1980s.

This paper assesses the impact of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on Canadian manufacturing during the 1989-1996 period. The estimated effects of the tariff concessions are calculated for manufacturing as a whole as well as for the most impacted industries (those industries faced with the largest tariff cuts). The paper examines impacts on a number of performance indicators, including employment, earnings, trade, output, number of plants, and productivity.

"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."--

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.
