During the past three decades, international trade agreements have focused increasingly on areas of provincial jurisdiction. Christopher J. 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 Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy" highlights the relevance of specific sub-federal institutional, sectoral, societal, and ideational considerations in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. It also evaluates North American regimes governing cross-border functional relations and the NAFTA Side Deals on labour and the environment.This volume addresses issues central to the study of international relations, federalism, provincial politics, political economy, and Canadian foreign policy. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of political science, public policy, and economics.
