This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Les auteurs de l'étude examinent la propension à la R-D des entreprises sous contrôle canadien et des entreprises sous contrôle étranger au Canada à l'aide de données au niveau de l'entreprise. Les résultats empiriques indiquent qu'après avoir neutralisé les effets d'autres facteurs, les entreprises sous contrôle étranger au Canada dépensent sensiblement moins en R-D que les entreprises sous contrôle canadien. Cependant, la propension à la R-D des entreprises sous contrôle étranger a augmenté au même rythme que celle des entreprises sous contrôle canadien de 1985 à 1994. Au sein des deux groupes, la propension à la R-D est plus élevée dans les entreprises de haute technologie et celles qui sont orientées vers l'exportation, mais plus faible dans les entreprises de taille moyenne et les grandes entreprises. En outre, l'étude révèle que les entreprises sous contrôle étranger adoptent activement les technologies de pointe (et d'autres éléments d'actif incorporels) de leur société mère. Cela explique peut-être pourquoi les entreprises sous contrôle étranger sont plus productives que les entreprises sous contrôle canadien.

The purpose of this study is to provide an update of recent developments and changes to international and national dispute settlement mechanisms, as well as an analysis of the implications for the dispute settlement mechanism established under the Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The analysis includes the Australian constitutional approach for ensuring free trade within a federal state similar to Canada. The AIT mechanism has borrowed heavily from a number of other mechanisms and its further evolution will undoubtedly reflect the changes and improvements implemented in them. This study analyses the changes and their implications for the AIT mechanism; it also offers recommendations for improvements to the AIT mechanism, based on the changes to and experience with other national and international mechanisms

This paper develops two theoretical models that offer opposing predictions about the effects of market size and tariff reductions on a country's share of production. It expands these models to include standard comparative advantage effects of trade liberalization. The models are evaluated using matched Canadian and US manufacturing data for the period 1990-1995. The paper first estimates the "border effect", or the barriers to trade, both tariff and non-tariff, that impede consumption of imported goods. It then tests the theoretical prediction of its two models. It examines the relationship between a Canadian industry's share of North American demand for that industry's goods and Canada's share of the output of that industry. In addition, it evaluates how tariffs influence this relationship.

This paper focuses on identifying promising long-term infrastructure investment opportunities. The authors highlight important long-term trends. These include: the increasing importance of knowledge-based learning activities; the more modest pace of economic growth in Canada & other advanced industrial economies; the emergence of Asia as the new centre of world economic growth; & the worsening of global environmental problems. On the basis of these trends the authors develop a list of promising infrastructure projects centred on 4 objectives: increase Canada's participation in the global learning economy (investment in pre-school learning, secondary school performance, & Internet tools & applications); build trust between economic actors through local institutions which would evaluate major projects & make the results available to affected communities; improve the quality of life & the environment (promoting use of electric vehicles, introducing urban recycling programs); reposition Canada in the world economy by establishing multidisciplinary centres of excellence in research on global economic & social issues.
