The book investigates the competitive opportunities for Canadian and UK businesses in the world economy generally, but more particularly in a bilateral (Canada-UK) and regional bloc (European Union-North American Free Trade Association) setting. Part 1 examines Canadian-UK trade and investment flows and policies. Part 2 presents an empirical investigation of the experiences of a sample of Canadian firms with business interests in the UK and the European Union and, likewise, UK firms with business interests in Canada and the United States.
