Alberta's Oil Sands Manufacturing Supply-Chain Imports
Manufacturing supply-chains for Alberta's oil sands support the assertion that international and domestic bordering processes are not always territorial. In a previous study the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) determined that domestic exports to Alberta in this supply-chain originated primarily from Ontario and Quebec, and to a lesser degree Saskatchewan. The same study, however, also noted that an additional 50 per cent of sales came …
The politics of consistent inconsistency
Federalism and Liberalization
This article argues that federal systems in Canada and the United States allow for the successful pursuit of sub-federal offensive and defensive priorities in the negotiation of international trade agreements. It is also clear, however, that the coercive American intrastate system limits the relevance of American states in this process, especially when compared to Canada’s relatively cooperative interstate model. Canadian provinces and territorie…
Internal Trade Agreements in Canada
Despite criticism of ongoing protectionism, this study argues that Canada's internal trade regime has evolved significantly since the implementation of the original Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). This includes thirteen formal amendments to the AIT and numerous regional agreements in Western, Central, and Atlantic Canada. Borrowing from the liberal International Political Economy (IPE) literature it argues that existing regional agreements com…
International relations theory and Canadian foreign trade policy
This study evaluates the application of international relations theory in the Canadian foreign trade policy literature. It determines that studies can now be categorized into several groups, including: traditional power-based approaches; the content and negotiation of international trade agreements; the globalization of public policy; federalism and international trade; North American integration; and alternative approaches and new directions. Fo…
Canadian sub-federal governments and Ceta
Canadian provinces and territories have gained increasing relevance in matters of international trade over the last several decades. The possibility of a Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, however, marks the first time that sub-federal governments in Canada have been directly involved in specific areas of negotiations. The significance of this development, examined in this series of policy papers, can be organized u…
Foreign Policy Reviews and Canada's Trade Policy
Governments, upon assuming office, most often seek to refocus foreign policy according to the preferences of the new prime minister and the primary means of accomplishing this has been to release a white paper outlining the priorities of the new government. This article will demonstrate that discussions of trade issues reinforce existing studies questioning the innovation and impact of white papers. The purpose of this analysis, however, is not t…
Much ado about Parties
Conventional wisdom holds that governments matter - i.e., that a new government, particularly one of a different political party, will make substantial changes to the policies of the state it was elected to lead. The focus of this article is whether party affiliation matters in determining Canada's priorities and policies in its relationship with the United States. It will compare policy statements and performances of Liberal, Progressive Conserv…
Lawyers, trees and money
International and domestic developments have a direct impact on forest policy in British Columbia. At the domestic level, the BC government maintains significant control over softwood lumber as a result of provincial land ownership, executive dominance, and the role of the Ministry of Forests. This is reinforced by a close relationship between the bureaucracy and key industry associations. Under the New Democratic Party government of the 1990s, h…
From Kyoto to the WTO
The Kyoto Protocol was a controversial issue within Canadian federalism, especially in Alberta, where the province considered a formal constitutional challenge regarding the implementation of the agreement. This option was not pursued, however, due to existing judicial precedent that limits the jurisdictional authority of the provinces in international affairs. Regardless, these rulings still suggest a level of constitutional ambiguity, which cre…
The Role of the Provinces in Canadian Foreign Trade Policy
Canada has a history of supporting the evolution of trade related multi-level governance structures. In the post-war period these commitments had limited implications for domestic policy space. Over time, however, these governance frameworks began to increasingly focus on areas of provincial jurisdiction. This paper argues that these developments have empowered a range of traditional and non-traditional actors within Canadian provinces. On an ins…
