This Technical Paper presents the methodology and results the author's C.D. Howe Institute E-Brief of the same name. The economic literature provides evidence that diplomatic posts abroad have significant impacts on exports; at the same time, the literature shows that there are significant differences in the effectiveness of export promotion across the various instruments of export promotion as well as across contexts, products, and destinations. This study examines the impact of having diplomatic representation in a country on Canada's exports to that country, for different classes of goods and across different economic contexts. Using the gravity modeling framework, the study revisits the issue of the impact of Canada's diplomatic representation abroad on exports. It confirms that economic diplomacy boosts exports - and quite significantly - and adds to the existing literature by shedding light on the questions of where, why and how. The study concludes that the impact is greater for the first, main post (usually an embassy) than for additional consulates; that the impact is stronger on undifferentiated commodities than for manufactured goods; and that the impact is greater in countries which are characterized by lesser degrees of economic freedom. The results, which also show the positive impact of trade agreements on exports, point to a separate, significant effect of diplomatic relations on trade that is over and above the export gains from having additional Trade Commissioner “boots on the ground” in Canada's targeted export destinations.

“Government-to-government” relations, underpinned by high-level Canadian representation in foreign nations, such as an embassy, significantly boost the level of Canadian exports to those countries, according to a new C. D. Howe Institute report. In the study, entitled “The Impact of Diplomatic Representation Abroad on Canada's Exports,” author Dan Ciuriak provides new insights into where, why and how economic diplomacy works best, and shows that an embassy or equivalent has in the past added more to trade than have additional consulates or trade offices in the same destination.

Download Diplomatic Missions Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Heads of missions represent Canada to the world. Canada has 140 missions and offices abroad, but the foreign policy literature in Canada has little to say about the role of ambassadors. Even official reports do not articulate an explicit Canadian doctrine on the practice of diplomacy. In Diplomatic Missions recent Canadian ambassadors and scholars of foreign policy examine the role of Canada's ambassadors in the context of a changing foreign ministry, a changing state, a new world order, and rapidly evolving technologies of transportation and communications.

"As communication costs fall, foreign embassies and consulates have lost much of their role in decision-making and information-gathering. Accordingly, foreign services are increasingly marketing themselves as agents of export promotion. I investigate whether exports are in fact systematically associated with diplomatic representation abroad. I use a recent cross-section of data covering twenty-two large exporters and two-hundred import destinations. Bilateral exports rise by approximately 6-10% for each additional consulate abroad, controlling for a host of other features including reverse causality. The effect varies by exporter, and is non-linear; consulates have smaller effects than the creation of an embassy"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.

Download Toward the Charter Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
At the end of the Second World War, a growing concern that Canadians' civil liberties were not adequately protected, coupled with the international revival of the concept of universal human rights, led to a long public campaign to adopt a national bill of rights. While these initial efforts had been only partially successful by the 1960s, they laid the foundation for the radical change in Canadian human rights achieved by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the 1980s. In Toward the Charter Christopher MacLennan explores the origins of this dramatic revolution in Canadian human rights, from its beginnings in the Great Depression to the critical developments of the 1960s. Drawing heavily on the experiences of a diverse range of human rights advocates, the author provides a detailed account of the various efforts to resist the abuse of civil liberties at the hands of the federal government and provincial legislatures and the resulting campaign for a national bill of rights. The important roles played by parliamentarians such as John Diefenbaker and academics such as F.R. Scott are placed alongside those of trade unionists, women, and a long list of individuals representing Canada's multicultural groups to reveal the diversity of the bill of rights movement. At the same time MacLennan weaves Canadian-made arguments for a bill of rights with ideas from the international human rights movement led by the United Nations to show that the Canadian experience can only be understood within a wider, global context.

During the past thirty years, international trade agreements have focused increasingly on areas of provincial jurisdiction. In The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy, Kukucha argues that Canadian provinces have maintained a level of autonomy in response to these developments, sometimes even influencing Canada's global trade relations and the evolution of international norms and standards. The first comprehensive review of provincial foreign trade policy in Canada, the book highlights the convergence of debates related to federalism, Canadian foreign policy, and the global political economy as they are played out in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of political science, public policy, and economics.
