Description

The essays in Regionalism, Multilateralism, and the Politics of
Global Trade reflect this debate and give it focus. The
contributors, all recognized experts, explore the changing relationship
between regionalism and multilateralism and examine the implications
for national policy in a global trading system. Their discussion
centres on four interrelated themes: the changing nature of
regionalism, emerging patterns of interregional relations, the evolving
relationship between regionalism and multilateralism, and the
implications for state policy (particularly for Canada).
