Global trade patterns
Canada’s trade patterns with the world
Canada’s (changing) trade patterns with the United States
Regional trading agreements
NAFTA, EU, MERCUSOR, ASEAN, etc.
1983: 26 RTAs
2003: 189 RTAs
2005: 300 RTAs
Current: almost 500 (in effect or notified)
90 % trade agreements, 10% customs unions
The concentration of trade?
The Global Triad
US, Germany, Japan
