With over $400 Billion in trade last year it is inevitable that Canada and the United States are each others largest trading partners and more importantly, the largest trading relationship in the world. Trade relations between these two countries have amplified during the past decade through the 1994 implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Nevertheless, the trading relationship between these two countries has not always been harmonious. Recent disputes over softwood lumber, beef and wheat have created a fair bit of animosity between Canada and the United States. Although the World Trade Organization (WTO) and even NAFTA have suggested promising dispute resolution provisions, there is still a fair bit of bitterness between these two parties. The focus of this paper is to evaluate the Canada-United States trade relationship and to focus more specifically on the three main commodities of concern; softwood lumber, beef and wheat. The conclusion of the paper will attempt to determine exactly where the future of this relationship lies and which country will fall victim to the Canada-United States trade dispute.…

Canada and America have an extremely close trading relationship with Canada being the US’s largest trading partner (Redlinger, 2007). The US and Canada have a strong energy trading relationship with 66.7 billion being exports from Canada. The primary components of U.S. energy trade with Canada are petroleum, natural gas, and electricity. Canada is the United States' largest oil supplier and the fifth-largest energy producing country in the world which makes way for a strong economy (beaureau of western hesmisphere affairs, 2005). As the United States and Canada have a strong trading relationship they formed the North American free trade agreement. The members of the North American free trade agreement are Canada, America and Mexico and as of 2008 remains the largest trading block in the world. Since the formation of the North America free trade agreement there has been a dramatic increase in economic integration between the US, Canada and Mexico(Canada country review, 2008). It could be said that the North American free trade agreement is the major reason why Canada has experienced quick economic growth in recent times. Since the establishment of the North American free trade agreement trade barriers have been eliminated on resources like motor vehicles, textiles, agricultural products and lead which has been extremely beneficial to Canada’s export…

International trade is a dynamic, ever-changing, and progressive evolution that exists in the 21st century. Countries around the world have come to depend heavily on international trade to keep their economies robust and running smoothly. Some countries have the capability to produce a particular good or product more cost-effective and efficient than a neighboring or foreign country. This is comparative advantage, and it is the basis for international trade. Comparative advantage allows a particular country to specialize in efficiently producing a certain good to export while importing a particular product that it is not efficient at producing (Hubbard & O’Brien, 2010). The country of Rodamia has a comparative advantage in exporting cheese and importing corn from the country of Alfazia. The country of Rodamia also has a comparative advantage in exporting DVD players to and exporting watches from the country of Suntize.…

Iraq possesses multiple elements of tourism attraction, among which ancient civilizations, holy, places for all religions in the world and the nature of the mountains and rivers stretching from north to south across Iraq. Despite these advantages, its share within the world tourism is still below its potential, because the tourism sector in Iraq faces many restrictions, notably concerning the overall security situation, failure in adopting policies and lack of investment in infrastructure and basic services. These compelling issues need careful and long-term analysis so the development of the tourism sector could finally become an integrated and productive part in the process of economic development.…
