Canada and the International Political/Economic Environment (Collected Research Studies, 28)

by Denis Staires

Description

"The two papers included in this volume were commissioned to address the nature of the international political economic system and the pressures it placed on Canada. Jock Finlayson's study addresses the constraints and options facing Canada in the context of a review of literature on Canadian economic foreign policy. Such a review is much needed, and will fill a gap in the writings on Canadian external relations. The second paper, by Michael Webb and Mark Zacher, focusses on the show more international constraints affecting Canada's trading position. The authors conclude that, because of industrial convergence and the tendency of industrial nations to produce similar goods, the prospects for expansion and diversification of Canadian exports is not good."--p. 1. show less
