""Gateways to Trade is a groundbreaking study of the very different economic, geographic, and governance factors affecting the interaction of port facilities, multiple governments, business groups, and community actors across Canada. It is an outstanding contribution to the study of Canada's varied political and economic geography.""-- ""Geoffrey Hale, professor emeritus, Political Science, University of Lethbridge"" ""This important topic has never before been the object of such extensive research. Gateways to Trade: Global Value Chains and Governance in Canadian Cities is an essential reference on the connection of the Canadian urban system to global trade and on how urban gateway-related decisions are made.""-- ""Pierre Filion, professor emeritus, School of Planning, University of Waterloo""
