Asymétrie de puissance et négociations économiques internationales: la zone de libre-échange des Amériques et les puissances moyennes

Abstract: The role played by the middle powers in international economic negotiations is neglected by the literature on the subject. However, in an international trade negotiation characterized by a configuration of global asymmetry but with a relative symmetry between the dominant actors, the role played by the middle powers such as Canada constitutes a central factor in the success of the negotiation.

“…Ainsi, durant la période de pré-négociation qui s'est échelonnée de 1995 à 1998, (Mace et al 2003) les diplomates canadiens ont mis de l'avant toute une série de propositions concernant l'organisation et l'échéancier des pourparlers, dont l'impact sur la trajectoire institutionnelle de l'accord ne doit pas être minimisé. C'est le Canada, par exemple, qui a suggéré que les négociations soient formellement lancées lors du Sommet de Santiago (1998), et que celles-ci portent simultanément sur tous les sujets.…”
