Trade, Economies, and Flows

New!

From: North America's Arctic Borders

$2.60

This chapter turns to the ways in which contemporary trade and economic processes both reinforce and pose challenges to the maintenance of domestic and regional borders. In the North American North, in particular, patterns of trade, economic development, and labour mobility tend to remain oriented along a north–south rather than east–west axis, foregrounding global patterns of investment and global interest in regional development.
