Promotional Information

A clear, concise, and compelling account of Canada's role in the governance of international trade. -- Stephen McBride, Centre for Global Political Economy, Simon Fraser University In this deeply analytical and balanced book, Marc Froese brilliantly addresses Canada's relationship to the multilateral trading system. He offers sophisticated, original, and engaging insights on recent trade disputes and trade-related public policy issues that could inform Canada's future involvement with the WTO. Drawing together international political economy, institutional economics, trade policy, and trade law, Froese breaks new ground. His book reminds us why questions about the fairness, equity, and democratic legitimacy of international trade governance remain relevant. -- Adam Sneyd, University of Guelph
