Abstract

MONTERO C., Delia  and  PINO HIDALGO, Enrique. Presente y futuro de las relaciones comerciales de Canadá y Estados Unidos frente a los nuevos desafíos. Norteamérica [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.145-172. ISSN 2448-7228.

The authors analyze China's impact on U.S.-Canadian trade. Despite Canada's having lost its historic position as the United States' first trade partner due to the hike in Chinese exports to the U.S. market, this has not affected the structure of their commercial operations. Chinese exports to the U.S. are mainly labor- and capital-intensive manufactured goods, while Canadian exports are mainly natural resources and services. In addition, the two countries have defense and security accords that facilitate trade and allow the United States to deal better with external threats.

Keywords : trade; competitiveness; NAFTA; natural resources; institutional environment.
