About this book

During the past thirty years, international trade agreements have focused increasingly on areas of provincial jurisdiction. In The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy, Kukucha argues that Canadian provinces have maintained a level of autonomy in response to these developments, sometimes even influencing Canada’s global trade relations and the evolution of international norms and standards. The first comprehensive review of provincial foreign trade policy in Canada, the book highlights the convergence of debates related to federalism, Canadian foreign policy, and the global political economy as they are played out in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of political science, public policy, and economics.

Reviews

Doug Brown, co-author of Contested Federalism: Certainty and Ambiguity in the Canadian Federation:
Kukucha has written a fresh analysis of a significant and important development in the evolution of Canadian federalism, public policy, and the effects of globalization: the evolving role of the provinces in Canadian foreign trade policy. His is the first major book on this topic in over fifteen years and breaks new ground in applying international relations literature to domestic institutional politics.

Selected as one of Embassy's Top 20 reads of 2010

André Lecours, co-author of Nationalism and Social Policy: The Politics of Territorial Solidarity:
A major contribution to the study of paradiplomacy and to Canadian foreign policy and federalism. This is a very important subject and, until now, there has been no study of all ten provinces. Kukucha’s book demonstrates a complete mastery of the cases and of the secondary literature, and is most impressive for its original research, parts of which are drawn from interviews with key actors.
