As the world economy is becoming increasingly global in nature, thefuture of Canada's welfare will directly depend on thecountry's response and reaction to a wide range of economic regimeswhich govern the international economy.


This volume is an important and timely analysis of past and currentCanadian policies toward both the formal and less formal arrangementswhich regulate such areas as international trade and financialtransactions, international service industries, fisheries resources,and the environment. Often influenced by domestic political concernsand its relations with the United States, Canada has, as the authorspoint out, exhibited a high degree of variation in its responses tothese regimes.


Canadian Foreign Policy and International Economic Regimesaddresses a broad range of foreign economic policies not generallyconsidered in the foreign policy literature. Interdisciplinary in itsapproach, it will be of interest to those in political science andpublic policy, economics, and law, as well as to those involved ininternational business.
