Crossing the AtlanticComparing the European Union and Canada

Crossing the AtlanticComparing the European Union and Canada

Given the legal political economic and social similarities that exist comparisons between the European Union (EU) and Canada can prove instructive. This volume introduces the rationale for comparing Canada and the EU and reviews the political initiatives that have been undertaken to forge links between the two. Taking the political and economic structure used by the EU it compares this structure to the Canadian model at both the federal/supranational level and the local government level. Using various disciplinary approaches and case studies specific policy areas are used to illustrate these comparisons and several of the papers in the collection extend these comparisons to the NAFTA level. A highly useful reference tool Crossing the Atlantic will intrigue and inform an interdisciplinary and inter-regional studies audience.
