Summary

"This collection of papers examines the opportunities, pressures and challenges of deepening North American economic linkages from a primarily Canadian perspective. The seventeen studies in this volume are grouped into three categories. The first group assesses the current state of economic integration. The second group examines the policy dimensions of the integration process and offers a wide range of approaches to such issues as taxation, social policy and the environment. The third group deals with the deepening of NAFTA institutions, such as adopting a customs union or common market."--BOOK JACKET.
