Even with their domestic economies in tatters and the full global impact of the credit crunch still unknown, the leaders of the world's most powerful economies committed themselves to less protectionism and more exports - in other words, more free trade. Many of the agricultural and financial companies involved in this 21st century land grab will bring in western workers, technology, and production methods leaving little positive economic spin-off for the host country.

The summit proposed another $1.1 trillion in loans and guarantees to help national economies at risk, but it was not in the form of the direct kick-start that Ottawa and Washington were looking for. Part of the reason for this is that there are three ways of looking at the recession. For Canadians and Americans it recalls breadlines during the Great Depression; Europeans recall Germans pushing wheelbarrows full of banknotes to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread; and developing countries see their dreams of prosperity being crimped. These different fears make co-ordinating diplomatic agreement far more difficult than putting together a photo-op. The member nations paid a little more serious lip service to the idea of free trade and to condemning protectionism but they remain unconvincing ...

Underlying the strategic competition is China's economic rise. Its companies are "colonizing" swaths of Africa and Latin America, cozying up to regimes Westerners shun. Its huge foreign-exchange holdings and its sniffing of bargains mean Chinese investment in the West will grow rapidly in the coming years. And to cap it all, China owns $800 billion of U.S. government debt -- enough to give it power of life and death over the U.S. economy. China's economy is still less than a third the size of the U.S.' at market exchange rates. Its gross domestic product per head is one-fourteenth that of the U.S. The innovation gap between the two countries remains huge. The U.S.' defence budget is still six times China's. As for the Treasury bills, dumping them is not an option for China: A tumbling d...

Political risk analysis primarily receives attention for foreign direct investment (FDI) but only rarely for exporting. We examine how exporters and foreign direct investors evaluate the relative importance of political risk factors. We provide a rationale for exporters to evaluate political risk factors for FDI and for foreign direct investors to evaluate political risk factors for exporting. Survey data were collected from Canadian exporters and foreign direct investors and capture the distinctive nature of salient factors for exporting and FDI. We offer unique insights on the evolutionary character of political risk that are of practical value for both exporting and FDI.

All fine and good, but the risk is that this enthusiasm for promoting industry slides into protectionism. On Sept. 11, [Barack Obama] slapped tariffs on Chinese tire imports, and China threatened the same on American chicken and car parts. The dispute simmered as Obama met leaders of the G-20 in Pittsburgh. They promised to rebalance their economies (in effect, requiring the U.S. to reduce its trade deficit and China to reduce its surplus) and to avoid protectionism. But if the first commitment fails, so may the second. As leaders met, three U.S. companies and a union, no doubt encouraged by the tire tariffs, accused Chinese and Indonesian companies of "dumping" paper (selling below cost or below home market price), and Nucor accused Chinese and Taiwanese exporters of bolts, screws and ...

Politically, this relationship was at the centre of the "free trade elections" of 1891, 1911, and 1988, where opponents of free trade with the United States made the emotionally charged prediction that its adoption must lead inevitably to political assimilatioa Intellectually, Canadian nationalists have consistently argued that various modes of government protection - tariffs, industrial subsidies, foreign ownership restrictions, public ownership - are, and always will be, critical to the survival of the country as a sovereign political entity. To say this is not to suggest that the book contains nothing new; in fact, all 22 chapters present significant new material and assess recent developments across a very wide range of subject areas - from such familiar terrain as continental ener...

Live broader than the confines of the 100-mile diet: Remember that we live in a global community in which we trade and barter and work in our areas of comparative advantage. It is good to support local producers but do not fall into the trap of neo-protectionism, which excludes distant producers from our markets. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a bowl of raspberries or a banana or an orange and other food that has travelled some distance knowing that producers, processors and transporters have as much right to work and to earn an income as we do. Pay above the market for something: A few weeks ago I had my shoes shined by a shoe-shine wallah in India. The going rate is five rupees (about 12 cents); he asked for 10 rupees. I gave him 50 rupees and walked away. It cost me a dollar to surpr...

Regulating administrative monopoly is the major task of China's "anti-monopoly law" and the greatest challenge in its enforcement. "Anti-monopoly law" has done a special chapter on administrative monopoly for the first time, which is a significant breakthrough of our country's legislation on the regulation of administrative monopoly. But, after all, "anti-monopoly law" is a new law, and due to the limitations of legislation, there are many system deficiencies, on the regulation of administrative monopoly in China's "Anti-monopoly law", which make it can not fully come into play. So, it is necessary to perfect the measures that can make up for the system deficiencies.
