This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Foreign Trade Theory, Trade Policy, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: In the past decade, the Canadian economy experienced stagnation owing to the existence of unfavorable economic trends in the regional and global economy. It is argued that Canadian economy slipped into a recession because of the challenges faced in building its competitiveness in the international trade network. For instance, Canada has been relying on regional trade, especially with the United States which accounts for the highest portion of international exports, and this aspect is linked to the crippling of the Canadian economy. Therefore, internationalization of trade activities appears to be one of the most reliable approaches for aligning the country’s economy with the 21st century global economy. This approach will enable the country to increase its export levels which will, in turn, increase the Gross Domestic Product of Canada. This is probably why Laurin (2013) remarks “There is a growing perception that Canadian businesses need to turn their attention to overseas markets and shift their business strategies to adapt a new global environment’. As such, the current approach by Canadian premiers to establish trade agreements with international trade partners seem to be an amicable answer to economic tantrums in the Canadian economy. The new approach bears significant economic roles in the Canadian economic prospects in the future. According to the Council of the Federation, it is apparent that “strengthening Canada’s trade and investment linkages with the global economy will mean addressing challenges and taking advantage of new opportunities”. This aspect is reaffirmed by Passaris (2013) who observes “International trade is both the heartbeat and the lifeblood of the Canadian economy. In fact, international trade has empowered Canada to side-step economic theory”.Therefore, this paper will give an overview on the economic role of international trade in Canada’s future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 andtimely analysis of past and current Canadian policies toward both theformal and less formal arrangements which regulate such areas asinternational trade and financial transactions, international serviceindustries, fisheries resources, and the environment. Often influencedby domestic political concerns and its relations with the UnitedStates, Canada has, as the authors point out, exhibited a high degreeof variation in its responses to these regimes. Canadian Foreign Policyand International Economic Regimes addresses a broad range of foreigneconomic policies not generally considered in the foreign policyliterature. Interdisciplinary in its approach, it will be of interestto those in political science and public policy, economics, and law, aswell as to those involved in international business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian economy is heavily influenced by a magnitude of foreign direct investment. Thus the Government established the Foreign Investment Review Agency (FIRA) to screen incoming foreign investments. The report addresses the following issues concerning the agency and the possible necessity of establishing a similar one in the United States: (1) the criteria used by FIRA to evaluate the desirability of foreign investments; (2) FIRA policy goals and the types of investments which have contributed the most to Canada's national objectives; (3) the current administrative, policy, enforcement, political, and other problems of FIRA; (4) data gathering and use; (5) types of investigations FIRA makes, for what goals and with what results; and (6) whether the review process is needed in the United States. The study showed that there is not a need for establishing a foreign investment screening agency in the U.S. at this time. The reasons are: (1) such an agency would be inconsistent with the longstanding U.S. policy to encourage the free flow of trade and investment and to promote equal treatment of domestic and foreign investors; (2) whereas foreign investors control about 60 percent of the industrial firms in Canada, only about 2 percent of U.S. manufacturing establishments are foreign firms and no single foreign country has a large concentration of investment; and (3) the United States already has methods to monitor and control some foreign investment and many States have additional controls. Instead, the effective implementation of existing legislation, effective functioning of the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and continued congressional interest should all alert agencies and the Congress to the need to further improve the monitoring and the regulation of foreign investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "International trade and investment are central to economic prosperity. But new global realities, including rising antitrade sentiment, are challenging long-held policy approaches in these areas. With the global trading system at a critical juncture, now is the time to examine new trade realities and explore appropriate responses. In this volume, the culmination of a comprehensive interdisciplinary research initiative, the Institute for Research on Public Policy has brought together groundbreaking contributions from more than thirty experts in eight different countries. Together, they analyze how longer-term changes and emerging trends in international commerce, technology and economic power are affecting Canada, and what these changes mean for public policy. The authors take an in-depth, firm-level look at Canada's trade, and assess its integration in global value chains. They provide a rigorous analytical framework, supported by new empirical evidence, that will help readers better understand the global economy. Among the topics they examine are the new business models driving the more fragmented and global nature of production; the technological developments that are allowing new traders to expand their reach; and the shift in economic activity toward emerging markets that is dispersing power and raising new challenges for trade negotiations. The editors' conclusion distills the research findings into a forward-looking policy agenda for more inclusive trade." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reports the proceedings of the Institute conference, which examines Canada's stake in expanding economic ties across the Pacific. The main conclusion emerging from the conference is that recent proposals for Pacific economic cooperation are widely perceived as motivated by desires for a new trade bloc. Instead, however, the current focus of Pacific economic cooperation is directed toward promoting progress in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations. In light of common concerns about unilateral trade actions by the U.S. and the European Community, strengthening the multilateral trading system is a key priority shared by Canada and other Pacific economies.

Policies that either limit or encourage foreign trade are therefore more important for Canada than for many other countries."--
