How Private Is Privatization
Privatization is never a simple matter of transferring public assets to the private sector, because elected politicians cannot afford to be market dependent. Rather than allowing free entry or free exit from the marketplace, governments offer incentives and impose restrictions in order to meet the political necessities of their moment. This article reconsiders the privatization program implemented by the Conservative government in Canada after 19…
Privatisation and deregulation in Canada and Britain
Limits to Liberalism
The conclusion of a free trade agreement between Canada and the United States is just one expression of a wider revitalization of the norms of liberalism. Despite the surge of neo-protectionism in the early 1980s, it is clear that the overarching policy choice for the 1990s is state-sponsored liberalism. Canada's Conservative government is more typical than exceptional in arguing that the path to economic renewal can no longer pass through Keynes…

State Capitalism
Public Enterprises and Canadian Foreign Economic Policy
To what extent can public enterprises serve as instruments of policy enabling the federal government to assert a measure of control over Canada's foreign economic relations? This article presents an overview of public enterprises in Canada and highlights the special features of the Canadian political economy which differentiate it from other advanced industrial economies. The activities of the Canada Development Corporation and Canadian National …
Expanding the State
In numerous instances in advanced industrial economies the state has acquired or established enterprises and become a producer. It has done so because private capital, especially foreign, was apathetic or hostile towards its economic development priorities. But in assuming this role the state is not necessarily becoming aloof from international finance or the world economy. Professor Laux's examination of three state-owned enterprises in Canada s…
La Roumanie et les multinationales
Ayant choisi d'accroître leur participation à la division internationale du travail, les Etats socialistes, avec leurs économies planifiées et leur contrôle formel du commerce extérieur, peuvent-ils orienter les activités des firmes et des banques multinationales vers les priorités du développement national avec plus de succès que les gouvernements du tiers-monde? L'expérience d'une économie socialiste moins développée, celle de la Roumanie, est …
The Politics of Nationalization
Nous nous penchons sur la politique d'étatisation à l'aide de la décision en 1975 du gouvernement néo-démocrate de la Saskatchewan de prendre en main l'industrie de la potasse. Cette décision ne correspond pas aux normes régissant l'intervention de l'Etat en Amérique du Nord puisqu'il s'agit de la première nationalisation d'une industrie vaste et rentable dans le secteur de la production de marchandises. Nous analysons les réactions de deux milie…
Multinational corporations and economic nationalism

Small States and Inter-European Relations
During the period of relative flexibility or 'detente' prior to the invasion of Czechoslovakia, a renais sance of inter-state relations took place across the alliance lines in Europe. The present article ana lyses East-West interactions among the smaller European states in the 1960s by presenting a case study based on the analysis of international events data. The focus of analysis is the so-called Group of Nine - Belgium, Denmark (NATO); Bulgari…
