E-Book Overview
Nine contributions from international academics and practitioners discuss the economic and financial linkage between Europe and North America. They also outline the trade and investment rules governing this interaction. The volume opens with an analysis of the role of financial markets in economic performance in the EU and the US. Other topics include (for example) the implications of the activities of multinational enterprises for antitrust policy, and the potential impact of a US-Europe free trade agreement. The papers were originally presented at a September 2003 conference held in Halifax, Nova Scotia at Saint Mary's University
