Europe, Canada and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement / Edition 1

by Kurt Hübner

Overview

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a challenging project that will kick-start enormous changes in trade policy-making as well as in market openness in Canada. It will mark the EU's efforts to re-make the Atlantic Economy. This book provides deep insights into the ambiguity of the project and addresses the implications of a rapidly changing global economy for trade policy. Offering analysis of the financial industry, banking, trade policy, climate change strategy, and the Euro exchange rate, this book should be of interest to students and policy-makers alike.
