"Multilevel Politics of Trade is a major contribution to the field, and goes above and beyond to provide an analytical framework for explaining differences across federations in the role and influence of sub-national governments in trade policy. Including primary data in every chapter, this significant amount of original research is an important hallmark of this collection."

Duane Bratt, Department of Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies, Mount Royal University:

"Featuring insightful figures and tables to exemplify its theoretical arguments, this collection also includes a solid literature review, and a strong group of contributors who are all trade specialists in their country of expertise."
