Verdun, Amy. (2003) Canada and the European Union: Strengthening Transatlantic Relations, Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series, Vol. 3 No. 10, November 2003. [Working Paper]
Abstract
(From the introduction). This paper examines the relationship between Canada and the European Union (EU), from the perspective of Canada. What does Canada want out of its relationship with the EU? Why does it think that the EU is of importance to Canada? What strategies or policies are used? The paper discusses these questions by examining a number of different aspects: trade relations, higher education, Canadian welfare state policies, Canada and the United States (or what Canada can learn from the EU for its relationship with the United States), and Canada’s ambition to profile itself (its foreign policy). The paper will discuss each of these issues in turn and conclude by drawing some broad comparisons between how Canada deals with each of these policy dimensions.
